  Extravagant bouquet of bread yeasts, lemon blossoms and perfectly ripe Chardonnay grapes. Delicious flavors of crusty sourdough with a very lengthy aftertaste of ocean water / salinity. Thick mousse with moderately persistent bubbles and a surprisingly long tannic grip. A fantastic bargain; I must buy this again! It's honestly one of the best Champagnes I've ever had.

  Lemon from the chard, body and fullness from the PN. Yeast and brioche notes. Believe this is 9g/l dosage so in the upper end of brut. Has a lovely soft mouthfeel and very easy to drink. Fresh despite its 15 years of age. Beautifully rounded but not hugely complex. Great value.

  Rich buttery nose. Chalky tangy lemon cake on the palate. Very classic brut vintage champagne. 50/50 Pinot Noir/Chardonnay but drank more like a blanc de blancs to my palate. Great stuff.

  Fruit forward but drinking so nicely today. Pastry dough, citrus, nice acidity and lengthy finish.

  Probably the best value for a vintage 2008.
  By no means amazing but just a solid bottle to drink.
