Amazing fritt crispness with a hint on marshmallows

Bottle was a gift from work colleague, Thanksgiving Day gave us an excuse to open with Isobel and Jeroen. Served well chilled Medium gold/straw color. Nose is crisp brioche, citrus and wet stones. Palate of lemon, green apple, toasted bread, oyster shell. Crisp and precise, medium weight and finish... TN #3000...:) Really nice wine on this day, in a good spot and still drinking young. Should have some time left if wanting to cellar

At tasting. Brief note. Pours a medium straw in the glass. Perlage and mousse are both especially delicate and fine. Nose and palate are quite crisp and mineral yet rich and bready too followed by searing bright lemon, bitter acacia honey, flakey pastry and seashell. Midpalate has good depth and creaminess even with all that laser acid and clean saline minerals. Finish too is medium (+) with strong seashell minerals and citrus. Love this lean, clean, bone dry style. Very …

Super good. This is not too dry and is flavorful with essences of fruit and some toasted bread. Drank alongside a Gimmonet Special Club which was drier and had a chalky essence. Lasalle was much better.

Very nice. Good starter. Vinous like a good white burgundy.

Light greenish-yellow color, fine bead; nose has light-moderate intensity with slight green apple, clean with only very slight yeastiness; palate is medium bodied with superb tart green apple through to the finish, excellent fresh tingly acidity without being biting, slight salinity; finish is medium length with continued tart green apple flavor with slight brioche. Overall a cleaner lighter style of champagne, still very young, enjoyable, palate>>nose for now, and with potential for future development, though unless it develops a bit …

Light yellow color with abundant, steady, tiny bubbles; pear, chamomile, lemon cream nose; delicate, complex, almond, tart pear, mineral, saline palate; medium-plus finish (60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir) 92+ points
