Beautiful brilliant yellow-gold. The nose is intense yet delicate with toast tones and shows incredible precision. Good freshness, intensity and finesse on the palate. A superlative Champagne offering a great rendition of its quality provenance.

By Andrea Larsson in 2021 (AL92)
Bright light golden colour with a fine vivid mousse. Nice intensity and complexity on the nose, chalky and nutty with fresh butter, brioche, ripe stone fruit, confit de citron and roasted nuts. Good volume on the palate with fresh and zesty chardonnay flavours, finely creamy with balanced dosage, and a bright, long and lingering finish.
