A really fun wine. Upon opening it’s a bit composty but with a bit of air it open up into a nice orange wine. It tastes like burnt oranges, citrus pith, and has a steely mineral quality to it. You can tell it’s a really hands off wine but still of great quality

A really beautiful and balanced champagne. I heard rumors of this wine being overtly mineral and lean but I think those people were potentially fooled by the name of the cuvée. This wine is what I love in champagne. It has a pretty heavy lees character but is not too rich because the high level of acidity makes the wine feel so balanced and complete. Smells like lemon curd and butterscotch, and the pallet is extremely long and lingering. I don’t think there is any reason to hold this champagne any longer as it is drinking perfectly now and everything seems to work in harmony.
