Smoked eucalyptus and gamey.
Blackberry, dark plum, tha basil, eucalyptus. mint, anise, layer upon layers of gorgeous fruit, with herbs dancing with great pagan mystery, underneath those waves.
This is one of those wines that hits every bit of what you want a more expensive bottle to be.
Priced to buy by the case as a every nighter.

A good champagne. Drank kind of… young? Balanced but not graceful, hefty but a little too eager. All of the flavor was BOOM, right up front, and it was more green apple rind than anything. Good - maybe not my thing. — 4 years ago
Excellent, unusual wine! Would drink again. Has enjoyable tart apple notes. Beautiful color — 5 years ago

I really like this champagne. Crisp, fresh, certain aroma but not too rich. Good for matching with dishes. Not destruct the foods. Want to drink this as daily champagne. — 11 years ago

The nose is quite exotic for a Bordeaux white with tropical fruits leading the way, supplemented by green apple, fresh cut grass, and citrus blossom. Good tension and volume on the palate with fresh acidity and generous texture. Finishes long and clean.
Outstanding value from a winery of this caliber. — 2 years ago
