Big nose - citrus, toast and yeast. Flavour is good on the palate, but it doesn’t do enough to stand out.

Shy nose with some lemon and pastry. Very dry palate, but length is good.

Franck Bonville Brut Millesime 2002
Floral and lots of toast. Good length, very dry. Toast is a bit too over the top for my taste though.

Quiet nose, a little bit nutty. Palate is medium length and has only a touch of sweetness.

Duval-Leroy Premier Cru NV
Citrus peel nose. Both sweet and sour elements fighting on the palate, rather off-putting.
82/100
Duval-Leroy Vintage 1996
Apple and bananas on the nose. The palate is soft and lacking depth/acid. Not up to standard considering the vintage.

Duval-Leroy Paris NV
Pine nuts, spice and earth with some cherry as well. Good balance to the palate. Enjoyable.
