  December 31, 2023 - ear, ginger, rose, honeydew melon, and lime blossom honey. Audrey Frick says Parmesan and I see it, along with toasted coconut flavors. Musty notes when first opened, but this went away after about 60 minutes (and it was way better at that point). You can taste the sweetness. This is pretty good, but it really needed some air and even then, I liked the Vergnon slightly better. Excellent match with strawberries and just ok with smoked salmon and mushrooms.

  August 28, 2023 - Tremendous aperitif Demi-sec. The sugar is added richness rather than tooth aching sweetness

  December 21, 2022 - quite serious, very appealing, and probably the best demi-sec I've found for those reasons.
  
  dosage presents as richness more than sweetness but is perceptible throughout with a wee hint of Splenda on the finish.
  
  the wine is structured and beyond correct. golden delicious apple, underripe green pear, mirabelle plums, and lightly toasted bread. the dosage just amps the drinking experience into something akin to adding a fluffy spoon of barely sweetened whipped cream
  
  delightful. delicious.

  We always argue with these champagnes whether one feels more the dosage than the wine. We discussed it a bit and seems as expressed on the label with 70% of the wine get no malolactic fermentation the brightness of the acids keeps a hold of the whopping 32 g/l dosage and keeps the wine in check. Soft mousse, well balanced and indeed a great surprise. Very good 91-92
  
  88% Chardonnay, 12% Pinot Noir, 55% based on the 2019 vintage, disgorged March 2022 with 32 g/l dosage.

  June 20, 2022 - Half bottle, disgorged 07/19. Despite the 32g/L dosage, mouthwatering acidity! Tangy unripe melon and something like nectarine, wrapped in a cloud of rice-like sweetness, with a subtle bitterness. Curiously reminds me an off-dry sake, down to the lingering tongue-coating pulverized-rice finish. My first demi-sec.
