It is run by the skillful, Francis Egly who practices biodynamic and organic principals in his vineyards which span, Bouzy and Verzenay. Francis makes up a handful of highly talented and terroir-driven producers along with the likes of Anselme Selosse, Larmandier-Bernier and Vouette et Sorbée. These are wines first and he produces deep, powerful and intense styles of champagne. His minimum ageing is around 48-60 months (as declared on his informative back label) for his non-vintage wines, allowing time to express the inner strength and purity.

Changes in nomenclature aside, the wine in the bottle has never been better, and the latest release soars from the glass with an expressive bouquet of golden orchard fruit, honeycomb, citrus zest and freshly baked bread.

Other pairings would be a classic Prawn Cocktail (Heston has a great recipe) or a Lobster Roll with Kewpie mayonnaise. Finally, a Gravadlax style Salmon cured with dill would pick up those herbal and red berry elements with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpulent aromas and flavors of smoky grilled nut and toasted brioche, baked apricot and raspberry fruit, pastry cream and crystallized honey show in this expressive rosé Champagne, yet the spine of rapierlike acidity and the satiny mousse are finely integrated, lending an elegance to the full-throttle flavor profile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlison Napjus - Wine Spectator\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRumbling power with delicate finesse, this is a rose of medium salmon hue, bursting with the exuberance and beguiling transparency of Ambonnay pinot noir. Fragrant rosebuds and wild strawberries open into glorious depth of black cherry fruits of exacting ripeness, cherry kernel, fig and mixed spice. Very fresh and focussed for its age, with a universe of complexity lingering very long, precise and lively amidst fine chalk mineral texture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide 2015-2016\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
