This is a rich, comfortable style of champagne. It reflects the tendency that champagne has to become a bit sweeter. Apple pie and vanilla cream with almond nuttiness and touch of oxidation. The wine is mid-weight. It’s a fairly creamy and smooth wine, with a gentle, simple finish. Very good length. LCBO 51953
