Critics Ratings
‘Light yellow colour with an endless stream of very fine bubbles. Youthful nose showing incipient maturity with notes of hazelnuts, minerals and flowers. Palate is showing some burnt notes under the smooth citrus acidity with a lovely and fruitful raspberry minerality and a fresh lime bitterness on the finish. This was a good showing of the vintage, and already very accessible with a smooth acidity and a very indulging taste that makes you want more. Will probably be best over the coming decade. (Disgorged in fall of 2017, dosage 6-8 g/l, 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay from Cramant)’ - Cellartracker.com, 90/100 (Feb 2018)
