March 4, 2024 - Don’t agree with the low scores here. This champagne was bright at the open and settled into a beautiful butterscotch flavor that revealed graceful aging. Enjoyed over 3 or 4 hours without chilling. We tasted a lot of Burgundy wines that night and this was undoubtedly a standout.

December 10, 2023 - Houze's Wedding; 12/9/2023-12/10/2023: Bright white fruit and quite sweet, however paled next to the 96 magnum and a stunning 99 Cristal Vinotheque magnum from the night before. Touch thin and unstructured. 93

December 3, 2023 - Extraordinarily tight, though the magnum format probably didn't help that.

September 1, 2023 - Great example of ‘99. Fresh bottle. Still fresh and bright, plenty of acidity and tension, energy maybe fading a little and showing some secondary development. Green apple, bruised yellow apple. Acid is good. Little savory at the end, little fall spice. Complete and very nice now. I’d guess that well kept bottles will drink nicely for up to another five years. Staying power to the palate.
