Sommelier

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

Amatør

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

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

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…!

The nose is fruity with grapefruit and peach. It is mineral with limestones, and has a clean and elegant autolysis with bread dough and marzipan. It seems almost weightless. 

The palate is fruity with fine integrating acidity. It is silky, weightless and incredibly elegant. The finish is long and complex. 

It is a very typical CdC, and a very positively surprise from a rather weak vintage.

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)
