  From magnum, shared with a number of people at a wine auction, people loved it, started searching for it on line, golden yellow, bracing acidity, melon, apple, long lingering finish, and just when you thought it was done, a flash of honey (some thought), others tangerine, a unique zing on the finish

  Nice, but seemed more mature than I expected. Very light bubbles. Honey on nose and palate. I’ve had these petillants at 17 yrs old and they were less advanced. Nice, but a little tired.

  Pop and pour, drank half the bottle over 2 hours. An interesting combination of melon, oxidative notes and funk. Quite different from a traditional Champagne.

  Med-dark gold. Honeyed nose, this is fine but needs to be drunk soon. 88

  Seems as there are two different versions of the 2014, the normal bottling with 4 years on the lees and the Magnum bottling with 6 years on the lees, this would be then the magnum bottling. Acidity 4g/l, residual sugar 1g/l, 12.5% vol.
  
  Very shy bubbles from the start but they persist over hours. On the nose ripe apples and yeasty notes, on the palate dry, medium acidity, medium bodied and length.
  
  A bit simple compared to the still wines from Huet, but still good and easy drinking over 3 hours.
