Nose: The nose shows seductive energetic freshness. It is redolent of stylish citron zest and a sparkling waft of meadow flowers, rounded out by orchard fruits (greengage plums, Chasselas grapes and bush peach) and fresh rose.
Palate: The palate displays the same burst of joyous aromatics with notes of mentholated verbena, spring flowers and citrus fruits. An extremely fine, long thread of tension offers a backbone to the palate, with stellar quality acidity imbuing it with gentle, flavourful length. The final sensation recalls nature in all its fresh, radiant glory.Intense nougat, buttery shortbread, iced pastry, a hint of chardonnay parsnip and a trace of bruised apple—ample aromas, the palate echoing this with richness and generosity, but still tightened and firmed by acidity and gentle grip that dry the finish. Liqueuring level seems on the high side for a prestige blanc de blancs, but there is plenty to like in this wine, if rather expensive.
93 pts - James SucklingA richer style with butter cookie, cooked pear and pineapple aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, layered and flavorful. Creamy texture. Better with food. Drink or hold.
