A significant portion of reserve wines (30-35%) contribute to a rare fullness and maturity.

The clean nose offers aromas of citrus, pear, apricot, hazelnut and a touch of buttery brioche. Succulent and substantial, yet with an unfettered freshness. A model of perfect balance.

Pie crust and cooked apple with candied lemon and dried pear on the nose. Full-bodied with a creamy texture and layers of subtle fruit. Solid, yet agile. Mineral tint to this. Oyster shell, too. Fine bubbles.
Tasting Panel
May 2024
Exquisitely layered aromas of marzipan, cinnamon toast, lemon and orange blossom, buttery pear, and dried apple with a hint of mint announce this Chardonnay-dominant Champagne from the Montagne de Reims, which spent four years on the lees and contains about one-third reserve wine. Buoyed by vivid, almost chewy acidity and a soft mousse, lime shimmers across the characteristically silken palate before gesturing toward lemongrass on the finish.

A stylish Champagne with an emphasis on maturity and lees autolysis, this layers Kaffir lime notes over smoky hazelnut richness. The creamy, oxidative notes place it with richly sauced veal.
