James Suckling

Lovely transparency of fruit here with pear, grapefruit, peach, honey, honeysuckle and lemon-meringue pie. Creamy and layered with very fine bubbles. Balanced and creamy, with a long and supple finish. 50% of chardonnay and 50% pinot noir. 7g/L dosage. Disgorged January 2022. Delicious already.

Falstaff

Brilliant golden yellow. Delicate, multi-layered bouquet of fresh apple tart, acacia blossom and a hint of summer herbs, lemon curd and dried fig. Taut, mineral-influenced palate with lively mousse and depth of extract, very densely woven structure with a polished acid mantle. Full-bodied, invigorating finish of tobacco savouriness and lemon confit. Wonderfully mature.

Falstaff

Strong golden yellow with silver reflections and a lively mousse. Delicate notes of light caramel and ripe yellow pears, with a hint of pineapple and cookie. Medium complexity on the palate with nuances of pome fruit, a subtle acidity and a hint of nougat. It's somewhat steely, with medium length and already developed. (L21673056).
