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+)

Rik og kremet nese med epler, bakt sitron, kalk, mandler, ristet brød, blomster og underliggende eikepreg. Frisk ankomst, kremet midt med presis syre og lang avslutning. En vin som viser mye nå men vil få mer med fire til femten års lagring.

WSET Diploma

PnP. Lys gul på farge, klar og ren  med massevis av kremete bobler. 
Dufter av grøne epler og bakt sitron og etterhvert brioch og lett steinfrukt. Dybden utvikles i glasset og vinen samler seg raskt etter en lett kaotisk start. Fersk og frisk med medium pluss syre. Kraftig anslag og lang ettersmak og overraskende fyldig. Mineralsk og presis og man kan bare ane potensialet her for dette er pur ungt. 
Poengverdien gjenspeiler kveldens opplevelse og forventes å stige. 
Bdb med druer fra 5 grand cru-marker (Cramant, Avize, Oger, Chouilly og Mesnil-sur-Oger). Noe av basevinen er fermentert i eik.

Certified Sommelier

Fantastisk champagne! Krutt, mineralsk og med honning og eple. Kremet og syrlig med fantastisk lengde.

Amatør

Nydelig duft. Fruktig nese, salt og mineralsk. Fantastiske små bobler, solid konsentrasjon, flott forlalitet og desidert det beste jeg personlig har smakt frå Champagne 

Bright light golden colour with a fine mousseux. Gently roasted nose with nutty notes, a hint of oak, chalky and flinty with pale stone fruit, ripe citrus and fresh butter. The palate has a nicely restrained freshness with generous yellow fruit, finely roasted flavours, a mild creamy mousse and a vibrant freshness, and a long and layered finish. Firm and elegant with nice restraint yet power, still youthful but with an approaching complexity.

Markant Comtes de Champagne nese med søtlig bakst, gule stenfrukter, smørblomst og lett lanolin, små delikate bobler, medium pluss syre, høy konsentrasjon, rik fruktprofil, mot tropisk, mangler spenst og nerve, men det er vel årgangen.. 

Drikker fint nå, og tror denne ikke vil ha vondt av å få en god del år til, som mange varme årganger ofte har.

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.

Medium deep, straw colour. The nose is elegant, steel like, stony and mineral; after some aeration, it displays more yellow fruit and pineapple; excellent bite and structure on the palate, full bodied with an invigorating freshness, a mineral notion and superbly long finish . A highly promising Champagne with a long life ahead of it. (Dec 2011)

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. (Dec 2011)

sjelden pen balanse mellom syre og frukt til å være 96 - begynnende modningsaromaer - intens - stor champagne (96)
