Tasted by: Michael Edwards, Simon Field MW, Tim Hall
(at Decanter's July 2017 Grower Champagne Panel Tasting, 01 Mar 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2020
Powerful, oaky with high-toned red fruit - needs a bit of time to settle, its acidity currently very marked, and still mineral-tight, but will not lack for gastronomic potential.
