Hot summer day and a lot of work around the house - needed something refreshing. An unusual champagne that was part of a direct import in 2023. A good price at $87 and 2004 was not a bad year. Funky bottle, but aside from that, a down to earth vintage bottling that hits the spot and punches a decent QPR. Yeasty brioche, apple, and toasted almonds with a nice and not overpowering tartness. Not regretting buying (and drinking) this uncommon champagne.
