Description / Reviews

// 63% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay

82% Grand Cru and 18% Premier Cru fruit

First fermentation in oak. Ageing under traditional cork.

Disgorged June 2006

"Mid copper colour without that much effervescence but a very tight bead. Masses of white truffle and mushroom on the nose with a hint of cheese – even camembert. Really, really distinctive. So unlike most champagne; so like Bollinger! Great freshness on the palate which is broad and satisfying. Definitively not a wine to sip casually as an aperitif. Long and haunting. (JR)" - 19/20, Jancis Robinson

"This is a phenomenal Champagne from magnum with intense aromas of crème brûlée, dried apple, dried apricot and pear. Some tropical fruit but always subtle. Full-bodied, dense and layered wtih beautiful fruits and a long, long finish. Wonderful fruit, limestone and white pepper aftertaste. A joy to taste." - 98 Points, James Suckling
