Disgorged JAN21. A blend of 85% pinot noir and 15% chardonnay. Mostly 2018 vintage but with 35% reserve wine, which is no slouch. Organic farmed. I really like these Champagnes.
Sweet perfume with just-ripe apricot, coconut, nougat with Parisian almonds in the mix. Pretty. The palate is zesty in bubbles, creamy yet light on with a sense of elegance and freshness writ large. Poised. Good detail of yeasty complexity on green apple with grapefruit pithy coolness and zing. Delightful and feels fancy. Drink 2023-2030.

Tasting Profile

Nose
A nimble mousse dissipates to reveal a pale straw coloured base with apricot gold-tinged edges that’s threaded by a fine bead that shows excellent persistence. Elevated pear and strawberry aromas are followed by some yeast lees, brioche and citrus notes.
Palate
Quite full and expansive in the mouth the palate features a complex flavour profile of ripe pear, baked bread, yeast lees, strawberry and refreshing citrus. Dry chalk-tinged finish with crisp acidity and a highly flavoursome yet focused aftertaste.
