60% Pinot Noir, 22% Chardonnay, 18% Pinot Meunier. Dosage 8 g/l. Minimum 36 months on lees. Gorgeous wheat-biscuit notes on the nose – very much a classic autolytic style, with soft apple fruit that more ripeness and body than their 2013 Blanc de Blancs. Lower acidity too (8 g/l compared to the BdB's 10), making this even more champenois . Great clarity of flavour, and the length and complexity will doubtless improve with time on the cork. (RH)

Actually a bit rounder than the Blanc de Blancs. Zesty and respectable but I'd LOVE just a little more complexity. (JR)
