A sophisticated wine (a blend of the three Champagne grapes), this is a new release from this producer. It is dry, but the ripeness of the fruit offers a fine balance with the crisp, green-apple texture. (RV)

Firm and minerally, this tightly meshed Champagne carries delicate notes of orchard blossom, Asian pear, toast point and oyster shell on the finely detailed mousse.

The base of the NV Champagne Brut Nature is from the 2015 vintage, with 40% from 2013 and 2014, and 15% perpetual reserve started in 2022. It pours with a light golden ad copper hue, and is fragrant with golden yellow fruits of pear, chamomile, and a touch of raw honey. There is a rounded feel up front, although it is fully dry, with more yellow apple, bruised Myer lemon, and chalky texture driving down the palate. I feel this wine will develop a bit more quickly although it is in a good place now or over the coming 10 years. (AF)
