Tasting notes
55% Chardonnay, 26% Pinot Noir, 19% Pinot Meunier. Acidity 7.8 g/l, pH 3, residual sugar 9 g/l. Bottled on 12 July 2010. Riddling date 25 April 2014. Disgorging date 24 June 2014. Mild and gentle on the nose. Less autolysis on nose than the Blanc de Blancs 2009. But very well balanced, neat and zesty. Great English ambassador. (JR)

Quite rich and mellow. Not the most refreshing fizz but far from tart. (JR)
Very pale greenish gold. Seems delightfully fresh after the Heidsieck Monopole 2007! Clean and focused. Very punchy and direct. Just a little astringent for now but very well made. (JR)
55% Chardonnay, 26% Pinot Noir, 19% Pinot Meunier, dosage 9 g/l. Maturing, creamy nose with a lovely Chardonnay character. Great personality – full and rich, yet with pinpoint structure. A return to form after the 2008. (RH)
