The 2016 Brut Blanc de Blancs opens in the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers and citrus zest framed by hints of pastry cream and fresh bread that`s less overtly autolytic in profile than its 2015 counterpart. Medium to full-bodied, pure and precise, with racy acids and a delicate core of fruit, it`s beautifully balanced and I suspect it will age very well indeed. I look forward to revisiting it in the future. 92 points

Opens up with salty yoghurt and pastry, before some beautiful ripe pear, citrus and fresh quince perfume comes through. Some green melon on one hand, and rich nougat on the other. This feels carefully assembled and ageworthy, the palate in the top league when it comes to refinement. 90 points
