  I have drunk at least a dozen of these, bought at a supermarket closing sale. So it was very inexpensive and ended up being a good buy rather than a great wine.
  The colour is straw yellow with a slight onion skin colour which to me suggests pres wine rather than free run. The nose is quite okay with citrus, apple and a touch of bready/yeasty characters. The palate is a little plain and thin, but a pleasant rather than compelling wine. There is enough acid to balance the slight sweetness, giving some length to the modest citrus, apple and bread flavours. Recommended only at a low price point. There are better Champagnes on the market but mostly at a much higher price.

  When an owner of a small grocery tells you he doesn't know how much a dusty bottle costs, bring it up even you don't the winery. This one of my principles.
  Showing a old golden colour, this was a champagne of distinction with a lovely nose with aromas if marzipan, pastries, apricots and sour cream. Great! The compacte low quality cork suggested a 3 years plus champagne. Lovely oxidised style anyway.
  Palate is also delicious but you can say it's elegant, delicate either.
  Shortie, very Coulet-like, yet adequate for assorted take-away maki-sushi.
  Only 82 points? You're kidding...
  By the way, loved that motto 'Sine virtus nihil Magnum'
  
  Cuando el dueño de un pequeño colmado no dabe el precio de una botella polvorienta, píllala aunque no conozcas al productor. Es uno de mis principios.
  De un añejo color oro, era un champán de distinción, con una rica nariz con aromas a mazapán, pasteles, albaricoques y nata agria. ¡Grande! Lo compacto de ese corcho de baja calidad sugería un champán de más de tres años. De un rico estilo oxidado de todos modos.
  No puedes decir que es elegante, tampoco delicado en boca.
  Es deliciosa pero cortita, muy Clouet, aunque adecuada para un maki variado para llevar. ¿De sólo 82 puntos? Estás de broma...
  Por cierto, me encanta ese lema "Sin virtud no hay Grandeza".

  A rich, pleasant and fruity champagne with nice apple flavors. Quite straightforward, not the most interesting or refined champagne that I know, but I liked this anyway. Good quality for the price, I would buy this again.
