I don't get anything special here. It is a medium viscous Champagne which delivers that expected brioche, honey and toast. Aside from that the in mouth flavors after the mid palette are just plain. Finish has drying notes and wet limestone which is overly acidic and making my tongue shrivel. It is unbalanced and slightly unpleasant.

Leaner style with more aggressive acid. More sharp/crisp than full/round. Not-quite-ripe green apple with skin, lemon, quince, bread dough, and very light almond skin. Nice phenolic bitterness for a Champagne. Enjoyable, and not quite my personal style preference.

At 35k feet courtesy of BA en route LHR > Chennai. Freshly opened bottle. Bright and firm , sharp at times and on this occasion felt a touch aggressive on the palate which spoils a bit the otherwise promising start to this wine. 89
