Venus is a stellar no dosage champagne. Definitely worth seeking out.

Vintage champagne
Always a vintage champagne, this cuvee comes from a single vineyard of 60 ares in AVIZE (Fosse aux pourceaux).
No heavy mechanical machines were used in the maintenance of this vineyard, which has solemnly been worked by man and by horse.
Vénus is the domain’s single vineyard emblem.
Bottled under cork.
Disgorged 2 months before the release date without dosage.
This cuvee is only available in bottle. — 3 years ago
It us really nice. Beautiful finish. Pleasantly surprised since there was only one Marlborough selection on the menu. Will look for this in the stores. — 8 months ago
See previous notes. They still apply. All the hallmarks of modern Australian Chardonnay. Nutty leesy aromas with rock melon notes - from the cool climate district near the city of Orange. A light to medium weight palate. Proving that the Orange/Tumbaramba district is a great area for cool climate Chardonnay with Penfolds sourcing fruit from here for their top Chardonnays like Yattarna. Also Phillip Shaw (former winemaker for Rosemount when they were famous) has set up a winery here under his own name. — 3 years ago
Very light bodied, don’t like the smell — 8 months ago
Quite suave with it’s elegant texture and fine tannin, but there’s a rustic edge that breaks up the ripeness and adds dimension. Found the alcohol very balanced. — 10 months ago
