  July 14, 2014 - A Champagne blind tasting with 5 (Bollinger GA 1999, De Sousa 3A, Gimonnet 2000, Egly-Ouriet V.P., Pommery Louise 1998) different bottles (7 persons). For me the 2nd best, overall 3rd splitted rank, I was suprised from the elegance and crispy clean acidity, Brioche, straight finish, 10 more years for maturing

  June 15, 2013 - Wow. Not having had a lot of experience with aging Champagne (even in the short term) I was delighted with the results here (disgorged 7/08). Dryness to the max, but I wouldn't call it lean as the structure and complexity suggest a richness that simply isn't there. Aromatics are solid and lovely, but it is the intricate balance on the finish that makes this mindblowing. A splurge that was worth every penny.
