"Light, bright gold with a vigorous bead. Explosively perfumed bouquet of vibrant citrus and orchard fruits, baking spices, fresh white flowers and smoky minerals. Lush pear and tangerine flavors are brightened by Meyer lemon and talc, with a suave undercurrent of vanilla bean and honey. This really stains the palate, but the impression is of finesse rather than force. An extremely sexy, deeply concentrated wine that blends elegance with power, finishing with outstanding persistence and a strong mineral echo. One of the best Champagnes I tasted this year."
