December 3, 2022 - nuttiness consumes the nose, followed by citrus zest. lively acidity carrie’s through on the palate.

December 26, 2018 - 02 Base, purchased 09. Mid straw. The impression of bubbles more than their actual presence. Quite rich, buttery and a touch of Pinot meat. Harmonious. Fine as an aperitif but very good-friendly. This has held and is showing well. ****

January 18, 2015 - Wow I'm so glad I held onto a bottle of this - this is based on 2004. Firmly into secondary territory now. The nose is vivid and bright, but with savory aromas that include things like mushrooms and brown butter and baked apples. Harmonious and just gorgeous on the palate with this roundness of flavor that lends itself more to the appreciation of harmony than it does to identifying individual tastes. The dosage was perfectly gauged - an inch more would have been too much, but as we discussed this it made sense that an inch less also would have made the wine entirely different, and the wine was a perfect sphere. Beautiful bottle. Note to self - hold onto more Champs.

August 23, 2013 - Nice notes of yeast on the nose. Pale straw color. Taste of lemon and tart apple. Paired well with oysters and apps.

December 27, 2012 - Very fine, persistent mousse. Medium gold robe. On the nose, yeast, mushroom, red fruit and hint of topical fruit. Creamy mouth-feel. Medium plus body, medium plus length. Good acidity. Judicious use of dosage. Slightly vinous, but overall quite well-balanced.
