Wonderful Champagne. Rich, but the body stays so well balanced by fruit and acidity that it doesn't knock you out. Good oxidative notes - that same pastille, chausson aux pommes, wet chalk, salted butter, red currant register from the last bottle, with a vegetal whisper. Mineral spine running underneath, hints of Jerez on the finish. Oak distinct but never opulent. Vinous and delicious.
This wine is vibrant, complex, and continuously evolving. The intricate nose showcases aromas of pastille, chausson aux pommes, wet limestone, wet chalk, salted butter, red currant, and subtle vegetal notes. On the palate, it is lively with a precise mineral backbone and hints of Jerez in the finish. The oak integration is particularly noteworthy - distinct yet never overpowering, adding depth without opulence. Vinous and delicious - I hope to give it another try in the future.
