Likes this a lot. Tasted side by side with 2005 Le Cran. At first that one was brighter but with time the subtle grace of this wine won out.

Much improved from last bottle 2 years ago. Still decent acidity and dosage noticeable but better integrated. Would prob drink within next few years if any left

At a great spot for drinking. Slightly oxidative notes. Burnt raisin. No sulfur so wouldn't hold for too long. Love this wine.

Aromatic. Strong taste of apples, almost like a cider. Dry but not austere. Very ripe fruit. Long finish. 07 vintage. So tasty.

this particular bottle was a bit flat in the bubble department.
After a few hours open, the 2002 brightness starts to show. Nice apple and brioche.

Very nice bottle but I'm getting too used to unique grower champagnes, so did not wow me for the price.
That said, it was solid and has potential for long aging.

Stunning! Had this last year at MW event in SF and it was my wine of the night then. Now had at eleven madison park and it complemented
7 different amuse bouche courses perfectly. AT a beautiful drinking point right now, with many years left. Beautiful, serene and flat out delicious.

Golden amber color with mature notes on the nose.
Lemon and spices on palate with initial strong acidity but very weak finish.
Does seem heavy and somewhat wooden. Disjointed. Good effort but didn't come together.

Taken at first by exotic spice flavors and wasn't sure I liked it. When I returned to bottle some hours later I was completely captivated by an incredible mouthfeel of interlaced viscosity and delicate froth that dissolved endlessly. There was an interplay between bright lemon and a salinity I have never tasted in champagne before. The finish was extremely long lived. Wow.

enjoyable as an easy summer sparkler. Agree with comments about sweetness. Not overly cloying but could have used a bit less. Nice rose color, crowd pleaser.

opens with nose of burnt toffee and fig. Palate is vibrant with still intense acidity that cuts your tongue and is nowhere near resolved. Citrus and green apple notes predominate the finish. Would like to revisit in 3-5 years.

Fruit less forward than prior occasions so either peaking or settling down. Vibrant acidity still present so will likely try next bottle in another couple of years. Still very enjoyable drinker. From 2000 crop. Am very interested in trying the 2002 which is as still yet unreleased.
