I am not so sure that I like this Champagne. It is kind of reductive on the palate and not so refreshing. This indicates to me that it maybe getting past its prime drinking window. Too bad because I do like this producer’s other champagnes.

So I had a much better experience with this bottle than the last one which must have been a bad bottle. This one had nice citrus fruit, good acidity and minerality. It just needed a little more complexity for it to earn a better score.

I am disappointed with this bottle as the acidity is too prominent. Also, the fruit reminds me of lemons past their prime. I am hopeful that this is just an off bottle, so I am not going to provide a rating on this one.

Some residual sugar balanced well with nice uplifting acidity. This was very nice and would seek out again.
