Written Notes
“This lightly Chardonnay-driven blend benefits from some 30% of reserve wines from the previous two harvests. Pale lemon-green colour. The lovely, fragrant sweetly fruity nose has ripe pear, crunchy red apple and zingy lemon. The palate is light and refreshing, but with a lovely fruit purity and intensity. Lingering silky palate and classy, creamy mousse. There is a lovely easiness and quaffing character to this. Dosage 9g/l”
A great classic with bright Champagne colour. The nose is typical with fine aroma reminiscent of fresh pear, ripe apple, hints of citrus fruit and lemon zest, brioche and hints of vanilla in the background. On the palate juicy and crisp with refined fruit and slightly chalky minerality, discreet toasting and brioche in the finish.
Standardchampagnen är lite ojämn, söt och lätt, men speglar ofta den blommiga, mjuka husstilen väl. Tidigare väldigt ojämn. Ofta för söt och parfymerad, ibland med en så krämig Chardonnaykaraktär att den kan misstas för en årgångschampagne. På senare år har stilen och kvaliteten stabiliserats till det bättre. Jeroboam är mäkta imponerande. Huset har ändå trots den nästan fabriksmässiga storleken lyckats bibehålla sin Pinotdominerade klassiska stil, där jäst, bröd och peppar är tydliga inslag.

A: golden brown
N: tropical fruits, smooth
P: perky acidity, vivid mousse, broad
E: chewy and rich
In a nutshell: expressive and balanced
Finla verdict: can a non-vintage champagne get much better?
