Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon. Soft, sweet nose; rather mild. The flavors come through more on the palate: pungent floral tones. Fresh and fruity, but could use more finesse and complexity. 15
Andrew Jefford: Full lemon-gold with a steady mousse. Complex aromas in which grapefruit and apple mingle with some sappy freshness. Concentrated, intense, vinous, and long flavors, with what is surely a low level of dosage for Brut. Lively and perfumed at the finish, and some stoniness too. Very good: multilayered and rewarding Champagne with a real sense of personality to it. 16.5
Tom Stevenson: Fine and smooth, with a lively mousse of small bubbles. 15
