Champagne

Champagne, brut

The nose is fruity with yellow apples, peach, mango and tangerines. It is mineral with limestones and shale. The autolysis is clean and elegant with bun dough and black tea. It is complex, silky and elegant. The palate is medium-bodied, light, airy and silky, while also being a bit creamy. It is intensely fruity, and acidic in a fine balance. The finish is long and complex. It is a lovely Champagne that is great to drink now, but which can be aged for another 10 years. It is slightly behind the 2008 vintage, but far better than the 2006.

Expert

Bright light golden colour with vivid fine bubbles. Very fine toastiness on the nose, almond, fresh nuts, ripe citrus, fresh peach with stony and floral hints, certainly high quality Chardonnay with fine autolytic notes of brioche, fresh butter and nougat. The palate is nicely firm and structured in an elegant style with a succulent acidity, citrus tinged yellow fruit and invigorating acidity, and a long and grippy finish. Very fine potential.

Sommelier

var meget konsentrert og fyldig med pen syre og mineralitet. Allerede utviklede modningsaromaer (93+)

En uhyre delikat og elegant champagne med nydelig struktur, rike dufter og lang frisk lengde. Nydelige fine bobler gir en lekker mousse og det er bare å nyte. 

Certified Sommelier

Lyse bringebær, modne gule epler, lys bakst,  ekstremt lys toast av det svale.

Smak av gule mousse epler, gule lyse, noe sødmerike plommer, en pen integrert gjærbakst preg på smak. Utrolig balansert og tradisjonell. Elsker stilen. 

This vintage in Champagne is generally weak, but for Chardonnay it is very good as in Burgundy. The nose is silky, porous and intensely fruity with green apples, cantaloupe and lime. It is mineral, and the autolysis is clean and elegant with brioche and coffee. The palate is medium-bodied, porous, velvety, intensely fruity, very acidic and beautifully balanced. The finish is long and fruity. It’s lovely now, but could easily be aged for another 10+ years.

Meget god bdb!
Deilig syre og konsentrasjon! 
Nydelig til skalldyr.

Gyllengul, fine små bobler og behagelig mousse. Nedfallsfrukt, bakte sitroner og gjærbakst. Knallbra lengde. Deilig!



The nose is fruity with yellow and slightly green apples, and it is citrus like mandarin. The autolysis is clean and with bun dough. It is incredibly appealing and elegant. The palate is lean, but also velvety and silky. It is an intense fruit and a nice balancing acidity. 2004 can often be a little green, but there are no signs of that here. The finish is long fruity and acidic. It is perfect to drink now, but also has a long future. 96 points. // Sep '21: The nose is silky and elegant. It is intensely fruity with green apples, apricots, tangerines and oranges. It is a blend of green and tropical fruits. It is mineral with shale and salt. The autolysis is clean and very elegant with bread dough. The palate is light, silky, creamy, intensely fruity, acidic, mineral and incredibly elegant. It is complex and balanced. The finish is long and complex. This must be among the best Champagnes in this vintage, and at least the best I have tasted. 96 points.

The nose is light, airy and incredibly elegant. It is intensely fruity with yellow and green apples and piel de sapo.

The autolysis is fantastically elegant with coffee and brioche. The palate is porous and light, and intensely fruity. It is mineral and there is high acidity. It is beautifully balanced. The finish is very long and complex. 

This is really one of my favorite Champagnes. TW98

Pale yellow, stunning nose with a predominance of Chardonnay - pine nuts, almond, ripe citrus, white flower and minerality, the palate is beautifully structured with ripe yellow fruit supported by bright acidity, gently roasted notes and a firm mineral finish, very long finish, a high level of complexity, great stuff, still slightly on the young side, should develop really well.
