In lovely shape with biscuity butterscotch secondary aromas layered over the still-racy mineral brightness.

From 100% grand Cru fruit from the village of Chouilly . This bottle is spot on with incredible focused aromatics of green apple , lemon creme , saline , thyme, white flowers . Powerful yet well-balanced with a salinity and toasted nut nuances buried in the Lush apple fruit. A young Champagne that should develop nicely with some bottle age and undoubtedly the best young A R Lenoble Champagne we have tasted!

Delicious and impressive. High volume BdB. Rich nose of apricot, pineapple, mushroom, vanilla, toasted brioche, orchard flowers. Palate offers contrast with its ripe attack and then mouthwatering, nervous, and lemony citric notes. Mineral underpinnings throughout.

Bracing, crisp acidity gives a powerful foundation to this wine. The hint of salinity practically screams "oysters!" while the fine mousse underscores the wine's silky texture. A portion of the Wine was aged in wood but there is no hint of wood beyond the slight bump in density. Citrus, acacia, and hawthorn all contribute to the bouquet and palate. Quite long on the finish. Racy and substantial.

Lovely. Totally dry, light yet intense with lime/lemon flavors and a pronounced mineral character. Loved it!

2008 vintage. Medium lemon hue. On the nose, creamy, bready and ripe lemon cirrus. On the palate, a tad boring - medium plus acidity, a bit obvious and no sense of thrill in this perfectly drinkable champagne. Medium finish. Not wowing me.
