#AgedWineTuesday Pale lemon in color. Light nose of citrus fruits, minerals and light yeast. Medium-bodied with high acidity. Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, green apples, brioche, earth, light yeast, minerals, spices and herbs. Long finish with limes and herbs. This is a very tasty Champagne, albeit still young. Elegant and rich with nice complexity. Crisp and refreshing. Didn't love it right out of the bottle, and needed 45 minutes of airtime to open up properly, so be patient. I've had a few different vintages of this Champagne, and always enjoyed it. Needs 5 years to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. A blend of 51% Chardonnay and 49% Pinot Noir. Aged for 8 years on its lees. 12.5% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $275.

Lean and bright. Light and mineral with real precision. Quite austere. Should age really well
