Notes | |||
"Initial notes of breadcrumbs, fresh brioche and almond paste give way to elderflower and jasmine, then to fruit such as white peach and watermelon on the nose. Generous, ample and supple in structure, reminiscent of the cotton flower. Floral, aniseed and mentholated nuances bring lightness and freshness. The finish lingers on a delicate bitterness evoking fresh almonds." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2015 Extra-Brut Grand Vintage is a terrific choice for drinking now, as it is so expressive. Baked apple tart, spice, lemon confit, marzipan and a hint of toastiness are front and center. Open-knit and engaging, the 2015 is a Champagne of pure and total pleasure." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous "Biscuits, hazelnuts, peaches and baked apples on the nose. Some caramel. Medium-bodied with a broad mousse. Textured, with a dry honeycomb character. 44% pinot noir, 32% chardonnay and 24% meunier." —James Suckling |
