  Method: base 2020; at Le Glue Pot
  
  Nose: oyster, red fruit; not very expressive at first
  
  Palate: cherry, white strawberries; medium+ finish of iodine, salinity, mineral, fresh herbs, yeast; dry; medium body; medium+ finer bubbles; medium to medium+ acidity
  
  Overall thoughts: So interesting and different (for me at least). Hard to really pinpoint what I'm tasting, but it's very complex. I really like the salinity. Great wine.

  2019 base. Lovely, fresh, and precise nose with lots of lemon and citrus fruit, minerals, a bit of brioche / fresh croissant, and dried camomile. Great acidity with similar flavors but a bit more richness, and just a hint of smoke on the palate. Long finish. Really delicious wine, complex and deep. It’s still quite young and I’m sure this will age beautifully.

  What a stunning bottle of wine. Defiantly a white wine first, and a Champagne second.
  Base year 2017, but 70% reserve wines, from 2011 to 2016. 40% PM, 40% PN, 20% CH.
  Beautiful red fruit nose, ginger cookie nose. Broad on the palate, red fruits, peach, ginger, biscuit, grapefruit, nutty, toasted, almond.
  What a bottle.

  19 base. Citrus, mineral. Lean and clean. Showing well for such a young bottle.
