"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."

"The NV Le Caractère M de Margaine is a perpetual blend of mainly Chardonnay from vintages 2015 to 2002. That combination of years yields a Champagne with a bit more generosity and softer contours than most other wines in the range. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, chamomile, pear, tangerine and light tropical notes all open in this compelling Champagne. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: May, 2022."
