"The NV Champagne Cuvée Le Caractère M is predominantly from the perpetual reserve coming from 2002-2017, with the addition of 25% 2018, and was raised in stainless steel with 5 years on the lees. The nose takes on a more layered but still very fresh style, with notes of fresh pastry dough, sweet citrus, poached apple, and fresh linen. It™s very elegant all the way through, with a delicately pillowing and refined mousse, a rounded feel in a medium bodied frame, and a clean, floating finish. A lovely wine, it™s drinking fantastically now but will age well for the next 7-8 years."

"Bright and minerally, with a fresh, almost crunchy feel to the lively, lacy mousse. This offers flavors of yellow apple and pear, Meyer lemon peel, vanilla biscuit and sliced almond. Spiced finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged November 2024."
