BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Pretty peachy color. Appealingly fruity strawberry jam, yellow apple, candy, pencil shavings, and peach nose. Really clean and crisp fruit. Generous palate, with a fine, soft mousse and a seamless feel. Fruity, medium-long finish, ending on a dry note. 90

Simon Field: Distinctive pale copper, very pale at the rim. A powerful nose, blue and red fruit, blackcurrant leaves, hints of thyme and lemongrass, then wild strawberries and quince; complex, in other words... The palate is generous, the berry notes nicely defined and clearly etched, the dosage well-managed and the finish strong. Gastronomically impressive, but certainly nice enough to approach on its own. A successful and honest statement of a Blanc de Noirs Champagne. 92

Anthony Rose: A pale rose-gold in color, this could be a rosé if it wanted to, at least on color; it has an alluring bouquet combining fresh berries with complexing light toast and malty notes of autolysis; the bubbles are fine and persistent, and the texture is raspberries and cream-rich, with flavors that linger, or at least you want them to, before inevitably dissipating slowly as they turn from ripe sweetness of fruit to savory, the zesty acidity helping to keep the balance right to the end of the road. 93
