  March 8, 2024 - two flawed bottles in a row to start the night so had to pull something guaranteed to hit. Pop and pour, tight at first. 30 minutes or so and that Bouchard ripe green pear and red apple come rolling in, but with the early stages of some toasty notes and a little caramel. In transition into its secondary phase of life, but not awkward. Delicious

  December 25, 2023 - Kicking off our Christmas celebrations with some fizz—although that is not a term that really applies to this wine. Although some nice bubbles to start, it quickly becomes a still wine in the glass. And it is so good it really doesn’t matter. So balanced and elegant. An impressive nose of delicate florals and bright fruits—red apples, pears and clementines. The same fruit on the palate with mineral, wet stones and chalk. Nice long finish. This is probably the wine I have enjoyed the most since my surgery at the end of Sept. Sadly, my last/only bottle of this vintage although I do have some NV with a 15 base so maybe will be similar?

  April 27, 2023 - The nose is so balanced and succulent with layered tones of red apples, peaches, pears, vanilla beans, yellow flowers, warm biscuits, toast, red berries, and some nectarines. This nose is just gorgeous as it flows in the glass while showing off just the right mix of autolytics and fruit notes. The Medium bodied feel is textured and flowing with crisp, high acidity. This is just a flat out sexy Champagne. While this can certainly age for plenty of more years it is just a real joy right now.

  June 16, 2022 - Has improved since last bottle 4 years ago. Still a charmer but showing a lot more depth. Delicious.

  May 31, 2022 - Lots of sweet red berries. Strawberries. Really open and aggressive on the attack bursting with fruit. That carries through to the mid palate and finish making it seem a bit simple and one note. Good depth of fruit, but sadly not much more. Quite uninteresting.
