We had this sailing down the Orwell river on an old barge celebrating  a 70 birthday and 50 wedding anniversary. This is from one of the largest champagne houses and typicaly has a house style that is replicated year on year.

There are aromas flavours of citrus and floral notes. The usual heavy bready, yeasty notes found in champagnes are missing, only a subtle hint of yeast in the background. For me this is  why I like French crements, I don’t want a mouth full of toast, I want to taste the fruit, character of the grapes. So if you want a fruit driven champagne this is the one. Best of all with discount it came to £18 a bottle at Tesco.
