BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Deep lemony color. Elegant, youthful nose, with acacia, elderflower, yeast, and pastry notes. Fresh and lively on the palate, too. Marked acidity lifts the medium-intense palate to appear lighter than it is. Linear and elegant, with some complexity. Highly youthful, with no signs of tiring. 18

Michael Edwards: Bright, mid-yellow; tight, still citric nose; invigorating but not aggressive mousse on the tongue; fresh, straight, clean attack—very good as Champagne rather than wine. 16

Tom Stevenson: Rich and creamy, but rather angular acids make a Champagne that is simply too young to drink now. Non-malolactic? Will be a gem in 10 or 20 years. 17.5
