Community Tasting Notes 149

  • Ruminator Likes this wine: 89 points

    April 30, 2024 - Pale copper color.

    Scents of brown sugar, freesia, raw almond, brioche, and spices. Fruit of yellow apple-pear and a touch of raspberry. High acidity of citrus medley. Cointreau-like pithy bitterness somewhat sticks out in midpalate. Very chalky texture with strong salinity. A bit of oxidization note adds some complexity. Finishes with Bergamot and Chamomile notes.

    Medium bodied, fruit-forward with strong minerality.

    March 2, 2024 - Virkelig god, ikke så syreholdig, men det er nok et produkt af druesammensætningen. Den ryger på min wishlist

  • Neras Likes this wine: 92 points

    January 7, 2024 - Lovely fresh champagne with pears, brioche, grass.

  • Caruso Likes this wine: 93 points

    December 31, 2023 - Straw. Disgorged in 12/22 with the 50% 2018. Nice, not super intense, but interesting nose with flowery notes, apricots, brioche, minerals. On the palate not a powerhouse, but really delicate with the above mentioned notes and also some red fruits. Gentle and delicate. This is not meant for extended cellaring of course. But I guess that this with this disgorgement date should hold through 2024 if stored at 10°-12°C. 5/13/17/8.

Terry Theise Estate Selections

  • By Terry Theise
    2011 Champagne Catalog, 6/1/2011 (link)

    (NV René Geoffroy "Expression" Brut) ($56.00) This used to be a party-girl kind of Champagne, easy to have fun with, and so you were surprised to learn she was a straight-A student. Following the cheesy metaphor, now she’s in grad school and discovered that to maintain her grades she had to party a lot less. Basically, the wine has completed a transformation to something More Serious. Now 30% ’07 and 70% ’08, or rather, soon to be. What we’re currently selling is a 10/10 disgorgement that’s still cheerful and swank. This new guy is awaiting a final decision as to its dosage. It had three grams less than the current wine. It “worked” in its drier form, but in a significantly different way; still doughy and shiitake-ish but markedly more….call it masculine.
