Tasting from 26.11.2021: Peter Moser

Pale golden yellow, silver reflections, fine, lively and persistent mousse. Initially fresh baked goods, cookie and almonds, in the background acacia honey and blossom, fine nuances of candied lime zest, ripe cherries and oranges in the background, symphonic bouquet. A rich texture that conveys great freshness, taut chalkiness combines with fruity acidity, appears young and taut, shows a deep finish with enormous length; all true Champagne lovers have rightly been looking forward to this classic beauty. Lively, complex and precise, carried by an incredible lightness and offering great drinking pleasure. Champagne doesn't get any better than this.
