A fresh, balanced palate with green apples, pie crust and pears. Medium body, fine bubbles, and a crisp, dry finish. Nice center palate. Four years on the lees. Drink now.

With the house signature of a high percentage of Pinot Noir and no or little malolactic fermentation, this famed Champagne remains the hallmark of the producer. It has great freshness as well as bright apple and lemon flavors that have been tempered by four years bottle aging. This bottling is ready to drink.

A lively Champagne with a subtle, smoke-tinged undertow, and well-cut acidity defining flavors of crunchy white peach, blackberry, toast point and candied lemon peel. Disgorged August 2019. Drink now. 7,000 cases imported.
