17.5 Jancis Robinson:
"Certified organic. A distinctive champagne house. 40% of each Pinot and 20% Chardonnay. Based on the 2017 vintage. Disgorged in August 2021. Dosage 4.54 g/l. Vegan.
Very deep copper colour. A really glorious array of wild, floral aromas. Hugely distinctive and the opposite of formulaic with a tiny little bead. Mouth-filling. Tingly on the (dry) finish. So amazingly long with some lemon notes on the end! This is superior champagne that I would recommend to any serious champagne lover. So full of life! GV at the special-offer price of £40 'while stocks last'."

"Disgorged July 2019. Dosage 4g/L. Base wine from 2015 vintage (90%). Lively and energetic nose full of floral and herbal scents, including chamomile. A full, structured mouthfeel with a seductive, velvety texture that remains balanced. The floral finish is enticingly light-footed."
