Description / Reviews

// 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay (organic & biodynamic)

2020 base vintage, disgorged in August 2023

4.5 g/L dosage

"On the nose the first aromas are of patisserie and oriental spices, a delightful opportunity to allow yourself to be carried away by notes of almond paste, praline and spicy. A fresh and clean attack. The Champagne develop a fleshy and crunchy fruitiness, underpinned by tight lemon acidity." - House Notes

"Light to medium straw colour with a brassy tinge, the bouquet meringue-like and smoky with some toasted nut characters and a little aldehyde. A suggestion of barrel maturation. The palate is very dry, savoury, intense and long. A serious dry Champagne, seemingly low dosage and firm on the finish. The impression is of a dry, low-dosage style involving lots of pinot noir and some oak. A wine that could age well. It should not be served too cold." - 95 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review 

"Very deep-flavoured and persistent. This is really compelling wine that sparkles rather than standard-issue champagne. Almost rich on the mid palate but dry and refreshing on the finish. Very, very rewarding." - 17/20 Points, Jancis Robinson MW

"Nicely toasty and creamy on the nose, showing white-peach preserves and pear tart with fine depth. A sharp, focused palate reveals layer after layer of complexity yet remains fresh and dynamic through the long finish." - 94 Points, Andrii Stetsiuk, JamesSuckling.com
