Bruised apricot, tangerine, yellow apple that turns to green apple on the finish with a touch of bitterness on the finish as well. Brioche on the nose. Great champagne that begins to approach more expensive offerings in complexity.

Quite an oxidative nose with brioche, ripe yellow apples and lemon rinds. On the palate again brioche, ripe yellow apples, lemon rinds, high acidity, well integrated mousse and quite dry for brut 6gr/L. Tasted blind was flipping between a Cava with long ageing or Champagne, went with champagne in the end because of the mousse and intensity of the brioche. It needed some more complexity to make this ripe and oxidative style work for my taste. At €35 not a bad Champagne by any means.

Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): Solid stuff. Maybe I'm always a bit skeptical of grower champagnes because they often come off too lean, but this actually showed good palate weight. Very enjoyable and approachable, though not the most complex on the palate. Excellent for the level.
