PN 65%, C 35%, dosage 4.25g/l. Illegible dates of tirage and disgorgement on the damaged back label. The colour is medium gold. Very fine bubbles, not terribly persistent in the glass but giving a pleasant coating in the mouth. The nose has a broad mature aspect with very good complexity and without any oxidative notes; no perception of oak. Similar in the mouth with a seamless quality, and a high level of comfort. Great harmony with a yellow fruit dominance, and the tiny element of bitterness in the finish does not outstay its welcome. I rarely venture into the world of luxury Champagne, simply because I don't perceive a reasonable return on my investment. So, is this better than my regular NV Champagnes (Chartogne-Taillet, Boulard, Caillez-Lemaire, Pol Roger, Bollinger, Charles Heidsieck, Delamotte, Roederer, Billecart-Salmon) ? Yes certainly, but nowhere near what the price multiple would lead you to expect. Very good but not revelatory.

Medium yellow-gold color, slightly dark; nose of sourdough, sugar cookie/ginger snap, lemon-citrus in back end, slight roasty-toasty aspect; med,+ body, quite rich and powerful with a long finish. Very nice, in great shape with subtle tertiaries. Forma w/L,Q,S

Smoky, chalky, nutty. Complex nose, elegant mousse, though not the length of a great vintage. B+/A-
