JM Seleque: "5 Terroirs for a full expression of the Chardonnay, identitary and racy."

Nicola FEB24: Wow, an outstanding release, taut with great maturity underneath, mineral, salty, slightly matured, superb.

Moritz FEB24: Very profound nose. A harmony of: mint, lemongrass, salted lemon, grassy (green-spicy) notes. The palate is very balanced, with a very tight, gripping acidity. In the endless finish, there's a very subtle smokiness, which gives the champagne even more character and tension. A very strong release!

Nicola FEB23: Generous release, full-bodied with racy freshness at the same time, slightly pleasant sweetness, really nice!

Lukas FEB23: On the nose ripe yellow fruit and yellow peach. In the mouth juicy and full-bodied, with apple, pear and peach notes. The acidity integrates very nicely and makes for great drinking joy.

Tasting FEB20: Basis 2016 - Very harmonious, complex big leap to the version last year, lots of structure and excitement!
