  I drank this on a cool, sunny evening. The cool crisp weather was a perfect foil for this lovely wine. I was reminded of dried orange peel, and crystallized powdered minerals. It was crisp, rich, full body, and lovely!

  This needed a couple hours to open up, but even in its youth and in a challenging vintage, it was firing on all cylinders. Started off showing more Pinot apple, but evolved into the lemon/marzipan melange I was expected. Exceptional mouthfeel and length. No problem taking down the bottle between the 2 of us.

  Straw. Nose is medium. Flavors intense. INTENSE. Floral, orange mandarin, fresh apple, shortbread, cream, yeast, finish forever. 1m+ evolution. Great with Taco Bell deluxe box and didn’t fight with fire sauce. Great time.
  Best punch in the mouth I’ve ever had. Can’t wait for another next year.

  My second ever grower Champagne (the first being Laherte NV BdB which I didn't was think anything beyond okay), and the first to taste a bit different to a cookie cutter standard Champange. More complexity and more interesting taste profile. Pastry smell. The high percentage of chardonnay really comes through on the palate with a more rounded less angular profile. Elements of almond, cream, custard in the taste . profile. Nice
