Decanter: 95 Points
A 100% Brut-Zero Chardonnay disgorged in April 2023. This has a gorgeous nutty nose with brioche and toasted almond aromas - smells nicely mature with soft buttery and floral notes. Crisp and dry on the palate clean and lively with tiny persistent bubbles. Tons of citrus - lemon and lime but also vanilla ground almonds acacia and just-baked pastry flavours with underlying mineral aspects and bitter grapefruit spice that settles on the tongue. Juicy and mouthwatering super fresh and bright with crispness all the way through and a long elegant finish. Dosage 2.3g/l. Winemaker Hervé Jestin. (Drink between 2023-2034)

The mousse is so soft and plentiful that the entire thing almost melts away in your mouth. Just an excellent Champagne that has real character more minerality than fruit moving towards saffran and quince. A more challenging vintage in Champagne than the 2012 but this has the charm that comes with bottle age with a grilled almond edge still with citrus and white flower undertones. Beautiful. Hervé Jestin winemaker. Soft 2.3/l dosage making this Brut Zero. No need to wait longer.
