A great bottle, perfectly aged. Splendid fine mousse, pale yellow with pinkish undertones, rich creamy bouquet, on the palate very elegant, rich, flavoury, good length and finish.

A most refined wine. I couldn't believe 100% pinot noir. Classic, refined and long. A fresh, non-oxidative style (but I'd guess full/mostly it has been through malo.)

Nose opens with a bit of bread, then goes into citrus notes along with nectarine and finishing with menthol/liquorice. On the palate there's bread, green apples and nice lemon bite. Very elegant mousse.
I was already a big fan of Mathieu's NV blanc des noirs and this just takes it one step further. As my wife just noted: this champagne is dignified and graceful and it's telling you "relax, everything is as it should be - perfect" :-).

Lovely stuff. Beautiful fine beads. Great acidity and lovely yeast with a fine dry finish.
