2/14/2022 - Collector1855 wrote: 92 pointsWhere do I start... not a bad wine especially for the price but I have a lot of feedback for this producer. This is a recent release, must be a base around 2014 as the wines see 72 months of Oak. Here is my main point of critic: There are no facts on this label whatsoever. If you don't google the wine, you don't know that this is made with a Soleara reserve, you don't know that it is a BdN from 100% Pinot Noir, you don't know that lees aging is 6 years - and no matter what you do - you will never know the base year or the disgorgement of the bottle you just bought. If Andre Clouet wants to join the ranks of the serious growers, there needs to be a back label with this info, period. There are also often complaints about the flimsy aluminum wrap that has to bee peeled away in a 100 pieces. That did not bother me personally that much since I usually lift the entire cover together with the muslet and cork, still why this strange wrap... Anyway, there's your homework, team Clouet.

8/27/2021 - Hojun-na-Wine Does not like this wine: flawedOn the nose intense herbaceous notes and hay, followed by funky barnyard/bandaid. It’s overwhelming.

2004 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs BrutChardonnay more |
3/13/2021 - sdr Likes this wine: 91 pointsSuper tight cork, extremely explosive foam of medium size bubbles which surprisingly didn’t last especially long. There’s not a trace of yeast, toast or caramel in this young Blanc de Blancs. Very distinctive nose of Granny Smith apple and mountain stream. The palate is clean and pure - but there’s just not enough of it. Too light, too slight, too easy to drink. Perhaps in a few more years it will fill out. But with what I cannot guess. I want more from my luxury cuvées at every stage of development.

5/2/2020 - Hojun-na-Wine Likes this wine: NRI was lucky to get three bottles of this and I got to see how it evolved over the years. The first bottle was the most interesting out of the three, offering beautiful notes of hojicha (roasted green tea) alongside dense black cherry, black currant and raspberry.
