April 17, 2023 - Similar impressions as Collector1855. Fantastic Champagne, very cool method to keep the cork in tact. Champagne was fresh, a darker tint of yellow (which I love), rich, and textured. Certainly drinking above its price point. Lovely stuff, in spite of the perceived vintage.

November 11, 2022 - Powerful and interesting, spiced apple cider style, but for my preferences it's an odd combination of high (perceived) dosage and strong oxidative/secondary development. For this style I need bone dry like Egly; this lacks drinkability for me.
The final glass a week later was so-so. -

June 13, 2020 - Completely unexpected and out-performed on all fronts. Despite the 2011 reputation, this champagne is fantastic. 50/50 PN and Chard, bottled in 2012 and disgorged in 2018. If you find it for the right price, just buy and drink it even now as this is ready to drink. It already shows some brioche nose but it remains full on palate, with pleasant complexity. Sure this can hold many more years but really good already

November 26, 2019 - As per previous note - this was my third and last bottle and it is a consistently very good champagne and a terrific one for the vintage indeed!
