Subtle bitter notes in the finish add sophistication and further character.Nicola FEB24: A very strong release, vibrant, fresh, dynamic, lively, captivating, aromatic elegance.Moritz FEB24: An incredibly complex Chardonnay! The nose is voluminous yet delicate. Aromas of white chocolate & caramelized butter are underscored by a fresh, fine etherial quality. The palate is much fresher than the nose suggests. Mint and lemongrass are accompanied by almond blossom and a fine light spice. The round body fills the entire mouth, while the firm acidity provides the necessary backbone. The finish is endlessly long, leaving a taste of wet stones. A play of aromas that leaves nothing to be desired. The champagne benefits from being allowed to breathe a bit.Moritz OKT22: The Eternel Optimisme is by no means a lean, taut Blanc de Blanc. Even the nose promises body. Buttery aromas complemented by a light caraway spice, orange zest and a light green herbaceousness make the wine incredibly complex and interesting. The flavour profile continues on the palate and is rounded off by a very long finish.
