BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon color. Toasty pâtisserie nose with ripe fruit profile with appley fruit dominating. Light sulfitic gunpowdery touch. Rather light palate finishing surprisingly short after the promising nose. Dry, austere finish. Fine bite of acidity refreshes the ending. 92

Alex Hunt: A youthful, restrained style, showing yeasty yogurty characters on the nose, a little bit of caramelly development, a hint of buttered toast, but no fruit to speak of. The palate is taut, lemony, chalky, and very well balanced. In the glass, it reveals a flinty-Chablis hint of reduction. Yes, it’s on the austere side, but the effect is intriguing, not forbidding. And the wine definitely has a future. 90

Tom Stevenson: Fresh and overtly fruity aromas from nose to finish. Fresh, creamy fruit on palate. Rich and yummy but would benefit from a leaner structure and more focus on the finish. A very good creamy Champagne nonetheless. 88
