Kleur: Goudgele tinten met een fijne, aanhoudende mousse.

Neus: Intense aroma’s van rijp fruit zoals appels, ananas en limoen, aangevuld met tonen van romige custard en een hint van gedroogde abrikozen.

Smaak: Een perfect gebalanceerd palet met nuances van gedroogd fruit, waaronder abrikoos en limoen, gecombineerd met een nootachtige ondertoon en een boterachtige textuur die doet denken aan bladerdeeg.

Afdronk: Elegant en vol, met een aanhoudende frisheid die de complexiteit van de champagne benadrukt.

Deze champagne bestaat uit een blend van 50% Chardonnay en 50% Pinot Noir, afkomstig van Premier en Grand Cru wijngaarden. De dosage bedraagt 5,2 g/l.

Great achievement despite the 34% Merlot. — 2 months ago

As a lover of Solera/perpetual reserve wines, this intrigued me…as far as I know, this is the first Solera champagne I’ve had where the perpetual reserve is coming from the red wine (Pinot noir), not the base wine.

50 chard/ 35 Pinot noir/ 15 Pinot meunièr; 7g/l dosage

Faint copper hue in the glass (not a deep vinous style rosé). Initial reaction is this reminds me a bit of Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve Rosé (which I love), but just a touch less layered. Very “big-house” in style. Plenty of toasted croissant, strawberries, and even some sweet spices. More red fruit on the palate but there’s also some apricot. With air, oxidized apple type notes show. The finish has a strawberry shortbread vibe alongside a classical mineral/chalk profile. I’m sure this would still be tasty if you cut the dosage in half, but it works for this wine (and the texture/broad feel on the palate from the dosage show nicely). — 6 months ago

So deep and focused. Dense and feminine. in the mouth has good structure, never sharp or edgy.
Very accessible and lean.
Just missing that little bit of extra length in the aftertaste to reach a full 96.
But overall great, precise and beautiful wine.

She’ll never let you down… I don’t think I’ve ever had a better or more complex wine. Each vintage is just another surprise in taste. — 6 months ago

This was excellent! Leather and tobacco - beautiful balance between the merlot and the cab. Lovely. Kayla says 96! — 8 months ago

Pepper and spice and all things nice as the saying goes as well as a violet note. Very youthful at 10 years of age. The following night a blackcurrant peppery note. Good persistence and length on the medium bodied palate. Tom Carson, the owner and winemaker of Serrat (a Catalonian word meaning close planting - in this case 8800 vines per hectare - one bottle of wine per vine). Tom is also the chief winemaker at Yabby Lake and an in demand Show Judge with a very good palate - Serrat is his private venture with French wife, Nadege. They also import a small excellent range of Burgundy. — 2 years ago
