Millésime

Same notes as before, though I'd bump it to 4.0 on reflection. Back then it surprised me relative to the others in the lineup, but honestly it's a solid baseline Champagne - nothing more. Plenty worse out there, but plenty better too.

Finally - this is where the house shows what it can do. Peanut butter and some kind of jam, but there's a lovely perfume lifting it all. Despite the dosage, it drinks dry - sherry hints, that signature peanut character, and you can feel the lees age. Finish isn't enormously long, but there's salinity and genuine interest. Gets more complex as it opens. This is the one worth seeking out.
