Review

“The 2015 Champagne Millésime is a bright straw colour and is ripe and fruity on the nose, with aromas of black cherries, fresh violets, savoury saline, and a hint of umami richness. The palate is full-bodied, with no phenolic bitterness, and never feels overtly savoury. Pure, juicy, and inviting, it’s lovely and long on the palate, with a very pretty finish and a refined mousse that just frames the wine. It has a delicate note of toast that it needs time to harmonize, but I love what they have done with this vintage." - 96pts, JebDunnuck.com
