  Fresh citrus nose jump out of the bowl. Brioche also pronounce. On the palate there are a lot of ripe white-yellow fruits hidden at first but slowly reveal until fully blossom in almost 3 hours. The aftertaste is strikingly long.

  "Lot 36", no other indication of age or base vintage. Bought approx. 3 years ago, so not the most recent release. 12,5% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Youthful, luminous pale yellow color with a lime-green hue. Dry, savory and somewhat toasty nose with attractive aromas of chopped nuts and slivered almonds, some bready autolysis, a little bit of cooked cream, light golden apple tones and a creamy hint of panna cotta. The wine is rich, silky and quite ripe on the palate with creamy flavors of golden apples, marzipan, some zesty citrus fruits, light chalky mineral tones, a little bit of crème à la vanille, hints of hay and biscuity notes of autolysis and a juicy touch of tropical fruits and white peach. Bright and quite high acidity with silky, moderately persistent mousse. The finish is juicy, vibrant and quite long with bright flavors of ripe white fruits, some yeasty autolysis, light creamy tones, a little bit of sweet Golden Delicious apple, a mineral hint of chalky bitterness and a touch of vanilla custard.
  
  A tasty, rich and very tasty Blanc de Blancs. With its richness, nutty overtones and quite fruit-driven character I guessed that this would be a young Blanc de Noirs or a Pinot-driven blend. Oh well. This was a pretty lovely drop all the same, not coming across as lean and high-strung as some young Blanc de Blancs wines, but showing lovely autolytic complexity and creamy richness. Still pretty youthful, I can imagine this wine will continue to improve in a cellar for many more years. Ridiculous value at 17€ directly from the winery.

  En lille bitte smule restsødme der gør vinen meget nem at drikke både alene og til mad.

  Drinking well, but far more sweet than I would expect from a Champagne.
