Surprisingly austere with no trace of the leesy, nutty, or brioche character mentioned for other vintages. Still quite good but maybe a touch sharp. Better for those seeking razor acid, noticeable minerality,and more citrusy notes.

Luscious on the palate, smokey, nutty, and honeyed fruits. Lots of damp earth and mineral qualities in the foreground. Very complex Champagne

An amazing experience of power and eloquence. Precise perlage accented by a beautiful, creamy mousse. This is full-bodied and intimidating to novices. Toasted cashew, ham, incredibly textured by yeast, red flowers and a squeeze of Granny Smith apple to drive the finishing fruit and acidity

A decisive champagne. I like it. Transports me to a cellar.
