A blonde bombshell of a Champagne, with mouthwatering acidity and salinity shaping the rich and opulent flavors of dried cherry and apricot fruit, spun honey, almond biscotti, oyster shell and saffron. Long and creamy on the finish.
Disgorged 9 December 2015. Dosage 5.3 g/l.
Tasted blind. Deep yellowish straw. Lots of mushroom notes on the nose (2002 botrytis?). Rich and rather beautifully balanced. For the first time, I am tempted to swallow this. Complex and very evolved but with a real beginning, middle and (dry) end. Very lively!
