superb as usual. Dense and oxidative, red apples, touch of honey, vinous body building to a long finish. Penetrating acidity. I agree with the quality and I like the bottle, just very unsure about the secondary market pricing for them.

Dinner meetup with paired wines. Champagne flight tasted blind. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is cloudy, medium intensity, pinky gold colour. Thin legs. Fine persistent bubbles. Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of brioche, kumquats, chalk minerals, very faint oxidative hint. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12.5%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of kumquats, orange peel, white peach, chalky minerals, crushed lime stone. Long finish. Very very good quality. Feels so very fresh and vital. Guessed correctly as a 100% Pinot Meunier. Exciting stuff.

Took 30 mins to open up, as initially it was cold and closed. Warming up a bit, the rich fruit shows. Energetic, juicy, easy to drink. Too expensive on retail nowadays, but love the producer.

Lots of energy, citrus and acid, always very interesting wine.
