Light on the bubbles - to be expected - very nice on the flavors with plenty of weight. light citrus even yet with the buttery brioche note. Very mouth filling. Impeccably well stored.

Golden colour with small persistent bubbles Nose shows lemon, salted caramel, toffee, butterscotch, minerals, brioche and very subtle tangerine…there are definite oxidative notes which add further complexity The palate is full with flavours of caramel, biscuit, toffee, preserved lemon, hazelnuts, minerals and lemongrass, lime. The finish is medium + with pure primary fruit of lemon and lime but augmented with great autolytic character and secondary flavour. Great wine

A Small Saturday Night Wine Dinner: Very nice and thoroughly enjoyable champagne. Nose shows a touch of oxidation toffee, caramel, lemon custard, walnuts, and predominantly citrus fruit. Palate repeats the oxidative elements and is a touch sweeter than I usually like with relatively little in the way of perceived acid. Finish is quite long carried on walnuts and toffee.

This won't knock you over, but it's a good example of a mature '95. Full body for a blancs de blancs. Not much on the nose, but pleasant enough. Excellent balance, not too acidic.

Tuesdays at TDS: Moncuit Champagne (Table, Donkey, and Stick, Chicago IL): Nose: The nose is refined and showing maturity with honey notes, apples, pears, biscuits, florals, and some brioche.
Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity. There is a layered quality to the feel with apples, brioche, pears, minerals, and some honey tones.
Overall: This is really in its pomp right now. It's at that perfect stage of maturity while having freshness to the tones as well.
