Essi Avellan: Pale lemon color. Fresh, youthful lemon, peach-candy, and white-flower nose. Light palate, with a noticeable dosage. Fluffy mousse and medium-finish. 15

Simon Field: Gentle color and an unassuming nose of green apple and a touch of hay. The palate is rounded, with fruits from the redder end of the spectrum in the ascendant. Balanced and concentrated, a very typical blanc de noirs, with a pleasingly delicate but savory finish to underwrite this assertion. 16.5

Tom Stevenson: Lovely, sumptuous, pure Pinot fruit of great finesse; very satisfying and classy, with a gorgeous, soft, silky mousse. 19
