Lovely nose of brioche, cream, baked apple, minerals, nuts, very clean. Palate is sappy, clean, with awesome purity and freshness. Fruit skin fruit is pretty and super expressive. Does NV get better? No!!

Golden delicious apple and ripe gooseberry. Classic, baked toasty yeasty notes. Deep, long, mineral and so delicious with a mouth-watering, sweet and salty finish. Crazy that this is the entry level cuvee. Tasted blind along with the also excellent Perseval Farge C. de Reserve. Thank you @Lyle Fass !

Just can't get enough of this bottle, best QPR in Champagne, for my palate!

Prior notes apply; Nose is toasty brioche and a minerally quince jam. Ultra clean, creamy palate reflecting the same notes.

I love this wine! Thank you

Great showing. Nose of toasty brioche, smoke, white pepper, saline, complex palate with tangy and saline elements and lovely hint of opulence but great sap and length as well. What a finish.

Thanksgiving week with my in-laws.

I love this wine, quite expressive as it warms in the glass!

I like to thank @Severn Goodwin for his kindness & generosity for sending this beautiful bottle of Champagne.

We shared this with friends and paired this with apple walnut vinaigrette salad last night. Complimented the salad nicely. It was a nice yin and yang balanced tug of war of food & wine.

The body is beautiful in the mouth with nice acidity. Bruised apple & pear, some apple cider, pineapple juice, lime zest & candy, white peach, easy, soft chalkiness, soft, fine, grey volcanic minerals, sea spray, brioche with spring flowers and yellow lilies. Finishes softly, elegant, nicely balanced and persists nicely.

Toasty, mineral, brioche nose. Gorgeously mineral and clean. Perfumed. Pulls of the nice balancing act of no sugar and ripe fruit. So pure, clean and piquantly mineral, long. Balanced. @Delectable Wine This is brut nature

Terrific clean nose of brioche, toast, salty minerals. Palate is juicy and elegant with terrific grip and fruit. Silky yet deep. So refreshing and deep!
