A toasty brut nature flush with apple, pear, lemon and lime peel, poached apricot, thyme, shortbread, butterscotch, crème fraiche, red berry compote, almonds. baking spice and everything nice on the nose.

A tart fruit attack followed by a creamy textural sensation with really fine mousse. Brimming with orange zest, baked orchard fruit, quince jam, red berries, smoke, saline, dried lavender, honeyed warmth and toasted hazelnut toffee with cinnamon and nutmeg which lends brightness to the long and silky finish. I am so happy to have snagged a few bottles of this small production beauty. I adored it the first time I tasted it earlier this year and it continues to wow me with every sip. Just a remarkable champagne, full stop.

No pairings today, just sip and marvel in its beauty 🥂
