  Awesome deep gold colour, literally the actual colour of gold. Burst of cinder toffee on the nose, alongside actual wood, poached apple with cinnamon, and, insanely, sultana. I had some sultanas yesterday and it does smell like them. On the second glass a bit more freshness, and still highly complex. Palette dominated by bruised yellow apple and beautiful freshness. Fresh lemon on the second glass. Great acidity, mouthwatering, with a nice bitter lemon finish. The dichotomy between nose and palette is huge. Nose very evolved, and palette fresh and youthful.

  49% Chardonnay from Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Oger and 51% Pinot Noir from Ay, Verzenay, Verzy, Bouzy. Aged on lees for 10 years with no malolatic fermenation and 9 g/l dosage. Disgorged December 2010.
  
  Pours a medium gold. A layered and inviting nose that’s slightly oxidative in style with bruised yellow apples, cinder toffee, sandalwood, dried yellow flowers, toffee apple, sultanas steeped in baking spices, orange blossom, marzipan, and a mineral component of brass cookware. The palate - while appearing far younger and less complex than the nose - is bright and harmonious with bruised yellow apples, blanched almonds, and flakes of sea salt.

  Nice nose of yeast, almonds… then the mid-palate shows a still-vibrant acidity, with great notes of lemon and apples, a decent mousse, and some pleasant bitter lemon notes on the ending with some oak wood as well. If you like the style, you’ll love it!

  No formal notes. Good, but not great. Still fresh and vibrant, though definitely mellowed. Citrus, green apple and warm bread. Good length. Will keep for another few years.

  Mature nose with grapefruit and preserved lemon aromas mixed with yeasty undertones. Lovely weight on the palate with a smooth texture and energizing acidity.
