Tasting notes
The chap pouring is pretty certain this is all grand cru but it’s not on the label because ‘they don’t like to show off’. Attractively evolved nose. And mouth-filling mousse with no great weight on the palate. Takes the Blanc de Blancs style almost to the limit! Neat rather than mind-blowing. Quite restrained. (JR)

The 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs offers up aromas of citrus oil, green apple, white flowers and bee pollen, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate that's moderately concentrated, with ripe acids and a youthfully frothy mousse, the somewhat generous dosage making itself felt on the finish. This will likely come together with a bit more bottle age, but right now it's not entirely put together.
The 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs is broad and ample on the palate, with the natural richness of the vintage. An extra year in bottle provides a stark contrast to the steelier personality of the 2014 tasted alongside it. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and pastry notes give the 2013 an extra kick of flavor intensity and textural depth that is hugely appealing.
A creamy and soft Champagne with sliced cooked apple and cream. Just a shot of lemon zest. Round and delicious. Lively and beautiful. Drink now.
