Essi Avellan | Lemon color. Beautifully elegant and pure cool fruitiness. Lovely light fragrance over the stylishly toasty nose, with fine reductive complexity. Pristine white-fruit and white-flower characters. Still very youthful and zingy palate with a feeling of airy lightness to it. Long, focused, and mouth-cleansing on the mineral-fruity finish. Amazingly good for a Non-Vintage brut. | 95
Alex Hunt | This has a very un-Champagney nose! Slaty, stone-fruit aromas suggest a more Germanic style. Nice weight, balanced bubbles, slightly too sweet, so lacks some finesse. | 85
Tom Stevenson | Lovely toasty notes on the nose, extraordinarily youthful fruit and freshness on the palate. Long, long aftertaste. | 97
