Tasting notes
Peach, lemon, grapefruit, biscuit and some honey on the nose. Creamy and round with a juicy, peachy and lightly off-dry palate. Sleek bubbles. One third each of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. Base vintage 2018. 9-10g/L dosage. Drink now.

Uplifting nose of blossoms, tarte au citron, red cherries and freshly baked white bread. Medium-bodied with spot-on balance of lively acidity and fine mousse with juicy fruit and restrained creaminess. Elegant finish with plenty of candied-citrus notes. A cuvee based on the 2017 vintage, plus about 30% reserve wines, with equal measures of pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay. Drink now.
Very defensive about not citing a vintage 'because it's made from a blend of many'. Quite a savoury nose but awfully sweet on the palate. Tight and tense. Lots to chew on but well put together. (JR)
Loose and sweet. Lacks focus. Tastes as though the grapes were pretty hard-pressed. (JR)
