  Classic Laval purity and intensity with a bit more ripe fruit than usual in the warm 2015 vintage which works wonders for an otherwise strict wine that needs age. 94+

  Lovely showing. A little reticent but great fruit and depth emerges. Perhaps wait a few years?

  Tasting pour. Starts with so much bright apple, ends with so much lemon and lemon peel, with lots of brilliant textures and vibrancy in between.

  While bone dry, this gives the impression of some sweetness because of the wonderfully rich fruit. Perfect acidity and intensity. There is a purity about this Champagne that is mind-blowing and it drinks well already in the more forward '15 vintage.

  I thought this was a fabulous bottle of Champagne. I usually find Brut Nature too dry but this has so much material with great intensity that it works. Very crisp acidity just grabs the palate with focused flavors of dried lemons, citrus fruits and a lovely touch of yeasty bread. The finish is so grippy and complex with fabulous chalky mineral notes. Obviously quite young so should continue to grow even more complex in the next several years. Really really high quality juice! Off the list at Cote outdoors, NYC.
