Bright gold with fine persistent bubbles. Ripe yellow apple and toasted brioche on the abundant nose. Complex palate is medium in body and echoes the nose adding citrus rind, birch ash, and white pepper. Taut, bubble-enhanced acidity, of course. Hard to beat this as an everyday NV. Holds its own as a special occasion bubbly, too. Drink it when you buy it (as if you were going to do otherwise).

Bright gold with fine bubbles and rich white mousse. Baked apples and toasty brioche on the inviting nose. Palate is rich and echoes the nose adding citrus rind and a hint of flint. Finish is moderate in length but powerful and layered. Kinda hard to beat this at a standard NV price point. Unbeatable for forty bucks! Drink it when you buy it with pork loin, white flesh fish, or New Year’s Eve!

It’s good champers, what else to say? Well plenty—I like a rich bubbly. The bready notes take a back seat to fruit n cream, and there is an interesting bit of...well when I first smelled it I thought...”Ricola”? Something herbal and sure to soothe the throat.

Bright beige straw. Abundant toasty nose of baked apple dumpling. Fine persistent bubbles — even in a small pour — with a firm white mousse. Complex, full-bodied palate of baked apples, toasted biscuits (American), and a hint of florality (yeah, I know). Brightest acidity (naturally) tempered by the toast. My favorite Champagne house never fails to satisfy. Big, rich, and complex, it will continue to be my go-to all-around NV brut. Enjoy with any “white wine” dish or even some lighter red wine fare (filet mignon with Bordelaise would be great).

NV | Solid choice. Apples. Its primarily quality is a very refined acidity. Nice start of my Sunday with scrambled eggs.

Lots of apple on the nose. Turns yeasty at the end. Mineral, slightly bitter finish.
