Lemony richness on the nose, a struck match character that falls in with lemon vanilla note. Toffee apple allure on the palate with chalky coolness & savoury nutty finish.

JAMES SUCKLING RATING: 92

JAMES SUCKLING REVIEW:

Some oyster shell, berry biscuits, fresh strawberries and gently toasty brioche here. Lots to like. The palate is plump and flavorsome with plenty of berries and citrus intertwined. Good depth here. Grapefruit finish.

WINE ENTHUSIAST RATING: 90

WINE ENTHUSIAST REVIEW:

One of the most popular of all Champagnes, this is now showing a freshness that wasn't always there. The crisp texture and green-apple flavors give it an immediate drinkability as well as perfumed acidity and a vibrant aftertaste.

WINE & SPIRITS RATING: 90

WINE & SPIRITS REVIEW:

Initially, this seems like a cream puff of a wine, generous in its vanilla scents, vibrant apple flavors and tart strawberry acidity. Then some limestone minerality encourages the mouth-tingling strawberry notes as the wine opens with air, still creamy, now with a carrot-top herbal freshness. An impressive release of Yellow Label, this would be delicious at dinner with roast sea bass over chanterelles and cream.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 90

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW:

Lightly toasty on the nose, with grilled nut and smoke notes underscoring poached pear and pastry cream flavors. Rapier-like acidity keeps this fresh and focused, cleaning the creamy finish.
