Color/App: medium deep yellow; large bead; low mousse. Bouquet shows heavy toast, brioche and bread dough mixed with light lemon and good minerality. Large-scaled palate of creamy lemon/lime, white flowers and serious autolytic notes. Powerful, heavy-duty champagne that I thought was very reminiscent of Egly-Ouriet Brut Grand Cru NV, though with a bit less fruit and finesse. Still, my kind of Champagne and a wonderful choice to ring in the new year (93+)

Nose of toast, brioche, spring flowers, and slate, same on the palate, medium/big body, hints of sweetness, lovely, rich, very tasty, viscous, paired with smoked salmon, terrific together, medium/long finish, photo uploaded.

In addition to the beautiful bottle, this is a very elegant champagne, higher yeast content than I normally like but very nice. Opened for a special event and my companion loved it too!

2007 vintage 50% Pinot, 40% Chard and 10% Meunier, 7 g/L, premier and grand cru and then 9 years on the lees.
Smells a bit like amerreto cookies. Kinda one note at that though. Or maybe just a touch oxidized at that. But here it is. Need another taste.
