Pure, clean and elegant with a refined texture and beautiful, delicate flavours of citrus, apple & almond, bright minerality and excellent length. Not just for toasting, this beautiful Champagne would be perfect with everything from oysters to foie gras to French fries. (GB - Tidings, January 2012)
Terroir-driven, rich with berry, spice and mineral. Wonderfully full-bodied, this is ripe, yet remains elegant and focussed with a tight structure, superb midpalate concentration and a long, fresh finish. A very classy wine. Held up extremely well to the chicken tikka and tandoori paneer. (GB - Tidings, August 2010)
Full and ripe black cherry, blackberry, and plum with firm tannins, medium-body, with hints of game and spices and a touch of smoke on the silky, fresh finish. A nice wine from an underrated producer. (GB - Tidings, August 2010)
Clean, spirited and rich but not heavy, marked by fresh, lively fruit flavours and nice touches of yeastiness and vanilla, spice and nutty accents. Combines great balance and lovely flavours. (GB - Tidings, September 2008)
A dark, delicious, super powerful, full-bodied and full-flavoured wine, showing deep complexity from mineral, currant, toasted oak, spice, wildberries and black cherry flavours, a long, delightful finish with impressively supple and ripe tannins. Super structure and balance. Forget about this in the cellar for about 5 years to give it a chance to develop even more layers. (GB - Tidings, August 2010)
Beautifully balanced, with a core of round, ripe, tropical and pear character offset by mineral and citrus notes in a clean, pure and elegant package with a lovely ripe finish. An little more minerality would make this even better. (GB - Tidings, August 2010)
Rich and austere with ripe stone fruits and minerally aromas and flavours, great structure with a firmness that should become more approachable with a few more years in the bottle. The finish is long and well-integrated. Oysters Rockefeller would be a great match. (GB - Tidings, August 2010)
Rich, approachable, and supple with ripe citrus, spice and a touch of herbs and honey nicely balanced with the accessible structure. The mineral character follows through on the finish. Good acidity to cut through slightly creamy sauces. Coquille St. Jacques comes to mind. (GB - Tidings, August 2010)
