  Home tasting with friend, Singapore. Comes on the heels off Georges Remy 4 Terroirs and Diebolt-Vallois Fleur de Passion. Filigreed and spherical. What sets apart very good wines from great wines. End to end seamless experience. Something heady and spirit-like. Great complexity. Feels like a tad bit less power than the Mont Benoit which featured PN mostly rather than this blend of Meunier and Chardonnay.

  Home-tasting with friend, Singapore. Lots of butter on this. Beeswax too upon opening. Yeasty notes, the ones that engulf you at the local artisan bakery. That characteristic carries over into the midpalate texture. The dosage while present here helps rather than it distracts. IMO adds heft to midpalate. The lemon curd present too, white flowers a bit less so. Good good stuff.

  Home tasting with friend - very ripe fruit that makes the zero dosage a non-issue even when having the wine without food at aperitif. Slanted towards Pinot Noir, oxidative bruised apple note is updront. Long and saline finish "à la Brochet". Good stuff even if in my personal value system zero dosage is not quite Champagne anymore, sort of a cross with (good) still wines.
