  Small glass. Hi toned, perky yeast notes, green fruits, chalk, fleshy green herbs, tart lemon, taught. Good.

  Pear and green apple on the nose. Chalky on the palate and quite lean. Solid, but not at the level of the Bereche Brut Reserve or Philipponnat Brut Royale that came next.

  A very nice champagne with quite a lot of red apples. Very easy to like and with a lot of freshness.

  I found this to be rather a wizard wheeze. Sadly, for the most part Champagne leaves my flinty Protestant heart rather cold; perhaps I am predestined to be miserable?
  
  It was surprising to find this on the list of a sensationally awful bottle shop but I had read some good things and so after a quick bit of embezzling of funds (God wants us to be rich and happy, ergo he don't mind a spot of well directed criminality - the prosperity gospel really gets to the heart of the Sermon on the Mount and it really is the driving theme in the Gospel of Luke) this was had.
  
  Nice notes of brioche, lovely white peach and nectarine fruit, not a grapefruit in sight and some bready autolysis stuff. Hint of almond. Lovely clarity and bead. I have to say that this was worth every penny I stole. It also provided a really nice way to welcome in the Festy Season and celebrate finishing a long, hard year and clearing the decks so that I have a fighting chance of a few weeks of unmitigated bliss before the damnation sets in again.

  Very good. Held a bit too long, started developing sherry notes. Fruit held up well.
