In good shape. At his peak. Elegant. 98
March 3, 2022 - great champagne
October 26, 2019 - Amazing 25 year old champagne. Cellared perfectly. Amazing tertiary notes. I'm in love.
February 20, 2019 - Wow. This was sublime. Such balance and harmony. Golden Amber in the glass. Comes across as much younger than it is. Some savory notes. Quite lush. Totally delishious. The best aged champagne I have ever tried.

March 17, 2017 - Der Belle Epoque sehr fein und elegant, den ganzen Abend über. Erste angenehme Reifenoten: etwas Honig, getrocknete Aprikosen, dezent Feige, sehr subtile Perlage. Die Säure hält ihn lebendig und frisch. Es kommt noch Apfelstrudel mit Vanillesauce dazu. Im Gegensatz zum DP kann die BE sich über die Zeit nicht mehr steigern und baut ganz dezent ab. Für mich aktuell auf dem Höhepunkt. 95P.
July 24, 2016 - Nice aged champagne
May 27, 2015 - fantastic champagne, brioche, fine bubbles, sweet nose, creme brulee, fine acidity, very long finish, 97+
March 12, 2011 - Initialt lite oxidativ. Försvinner med luft och sköna mogna chardonnaytoner med smör, kola och konung kommer fram. Smaken följer upp med knäck, nötter och mer söt honung, lite örter kan skönjas. Syran balanserar vinet och eftersmaken hänger kvar länge. Denna flaska var perfekt nu
April 24, 2010 - Young and vibrant out of this magnum. On the nose brioche, hazlenuts, fois gras but also an elegant and flowery bouquet. After a while in the glass it explodes with coffee notes! Good acidity that balances the fatness of the flavors. Still - not as good as the wine straight out of PJ's cellar...
