Champagne

Champagne, brut

En klassisk Champagne i drikkemoden alder på nesen - kjeks, gjær, brioche osv men også tørket aprikos, epleskall. På munn har den en strålende fylde, høy syre, en klar sødme. Langt mer fruktdominert, m+ intensitet av overmodent rødt eple, noe frukt ala appelsin - noe tropisk? Stor dybde i smaken, og synes sødmen her både gir munnfølelse og egentlig matcher aromaene fint. En utrolig behagelig vin - drikkes for sjelden. PS: Kjøpt til halv pris av polet på nærbutikken utenfor Nice. Det finnes gode kjøp her og der…!

Sommelier

almond, minerals, toast, lemon, honey, flint, grapefruit, orange, apple, yellow apple, pear, vanilla, butter, brioche, cream, cheese, tropical, acacia, perfume, mint, dried apricot, raspberry, pineapple, lemon zest and some lime. This is something really elegant with one of the nicest toasts I have experienced. Discrete citrus balanced with lovely nuttiness and minerality. Great balance and concentration done with finesse and skills. I guess this will get even better with more time.

Expert

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.

Nå i begynnelsen av sitt drikkevindu og viser en fantastisk energi og presisjon. Den fremstår stram og elektrisk som er drevet av en livlig syre.

Duft av fersk sitron, grønne epler og grapefrukt. Gjæringspregede toner av nybakt brioche, knuste mandler og en tydelig, krittaktig mineralitet. Med litt tid i glasset dukker en flott påbegynnende kaffenote opp. Smaken er fokusert og intens med en skarp, men likevel kremet mousse. Ettersmaken er lang, pur og saltpreget.

Denne drikker glimrende nå for dem som setter pris på friskhet og spenst, selv om den fortsatt er ungdommelig. For meg vil utvikle ytterligere kompleksitet og begynne drikkevinduet de neste 5-10 årene. Dette er en vin med virkelig potensiale

Amatør

We served this Champagne during the Connoisseur Week in 2022 also, and the last year has seen it deepen and gather complexity. If you have been holding on to it, I strongly suggest taking another look, as everything has pulled together, with the quince and brioche character more pronounced, along with smoked almonds and bright citrus. A Blanc de Blancs made entirely from Chardonnay grapes sourced from entirely from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. 9 years on the lees, disgorged April 2021, 9 g/l dosage.

Inside Bordeaux

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

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

En kompleks, moden og meget flott Champagne. Utviklet duft av røde epler, sopp, nøtter, mineraler, toast og florale toner. Fyldig med høy syre. Elegant, utviklet, rik frukt med lang og balansert avslutning med mineralpreg.

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. (Dec 2011)

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