Written Notes

Druvsammansättning (Cépage): chardonnay från Avize. Lagring på sin jästfällning: 3 år före dégorgering. Dosage: ~24 g/l Produktion: ~100 lådor, 600 flaskor. Pris: ca 150 US$ dollars. Richard Juhlin Poäng: 84(85). Tastinnote; I stort sett så bra som en uppsötad champagne kan bli. Vilket syrligt bett och vilken krydda i aromspektrumet. För någon som dricker en stor mängd Riesling Auslese så kan jag definitivt känna för denna champagne. Den har nästan en tyngdlös Emrich Schönleber-liknande kvalitet i gommen och sötman har en textur likt riktigt tunn is, som är aldrig blir för söt.
