Low intervention bubbles with no chaptalisation and no correction. Powerful oxidative style that explodes with honey, wax, baked apples, almond and pickles. Such a bright style leaves no room to stay indifferent, it’s a love or hate story. And while I like oxidative bubbles, this one lacks complexity and delicacy, I wonder if time will tame its raw vigor.

Oh, and it’s also my first Auxerrois. Happy me.

Solid as ever. Intense and bright style. Honey, bruised apples, croissants with butter, almond and a small number of pickles (much less than before). Almost full-bodied, fresh, and rich.
