Average Blanc de Bancs in my humble opinion. I found it lacking finesse and in the mid-palate. Also, lacking acidity to tame the sweetness in the finish.

First sample of this producer; very enjoyable if relatively straightforward, the nose is classic Cramant/Avise chardonnay with pear, green apple, citrus, some yeast notes; the palate is dry with good depth and plenty of energy. Good and would probably buy again.

First time with this producer and even the retailer who had it. From a magnum. This is more of a QPR play. It's not an amazing champagne, but it's a good one and easy to drink and was very reasonably priced for the mag. In that very racy grower style where it's super dry and there's a hint of puckering. Also paired with some caviar and the saltiness brought out the bubbles a bit more.

Disgorged in 2013, this was a bit oxidized. Last bottle of a case of splits, always enjoy this producer.
