Champagne, brut

I've had 2 of these before, and they've both been disappointing. I was therefore excited about this, which was also the first from my own cellar. The nose has quite ripe fruit with yellow apples, peaches, apricots and mandarins. There are also cloves, marzipan, almonds and honey. The autolysis is clean and very elegant. There is bread dough and toast. The smell is complex and very appealing. The palate is velvety, fruity and with a nice balancing acidity. The finish is very long, acidic and complex. This is the best RD I have had, and it was an absolutely brilliant wine. 96 points. /// The nose is fruity with ripe yellow apples, cloudberries, piel de sapo, and citrus with mandarins. The autolysis is clean and elegant with bread dough. The palate is soft, fruity with ripe yellow fruit, quite full-bodied, acidic and nicely balanced. The finish is long fruity and acidic. It is a beautiful Champagne that is perfectly mature now, and it will stay at this level for another 5 years. 95 points.

Expert

Gyllen på farge, ren og klar med fin mousse på den litt fredelige siden.
Fantastisk flott på duft med søte aprikoser, lime, bakte epler, kaffe og mandler. Vinen er rik, elegant og generøs med høy syre og lang sitrusdreven lengde. Delikat autolyse med hint av søt bagst. Flott konsentrasjon. 
En makeløs champagne, perfekt moden med nydelig friskhet, struktur og balanse.
