Wow. Honestly one hell of a champagne. I’ve had Bollinger, Taittinger, Louis Roederer, Veuve Clicquot and Moet Chandon. This is just as good as many of them if not better. I’m not too versed in champagne but I have wanted to open this for some time. I have a Gosset 2015 Grand Millesime still on hold which I do not want to open hence why I opened this.
The 20+ months spent on lees is prominent as soon as you pop it. The nose is very yeasty! Beautiful colour. Prominent and consistent bubbles. Low dosage of sugar which I highly prefer.
100% Chardonnay. Tastes oaky, brioche, toasted muffins, and even some melon I picked up which may be the fresh fruit in there. Little bit of almond skin.
It also being organic is wow!
I will 100% buy this champagne again and cellar it to see how nutty she can get.

I get much more Apple and other primary than you’re making out; but yes its complex whilst retaining approachability. It certainly knocks the socks off Veuve and Moet, though I don’t have any real issues with the other three mentioned, taste notwithstanding.
