November 17, 2023 - Finishing up the remnants of last night’s bottle. A bit more straightforward today with red apple and blanched almond notes. Flavors of pear and toasted brioche.

November 17, 2023 - Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (Eagle Brook CC): 2009 base, disgorged September 2013 at 5g/L, 60% pinor noir and 40% chardonnay. Lovely mature golden color with a medium mousse. Red apple, marshmallow and wet dough notes. Short bead, with apple and vanilla pastry cream flavors. Showing very well at this stage.

December 30, 2022 - Retail $45. 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. I bought four bottles of this wine from Cinderella.com, Wine Library's (of Gary Vaynerchuck fame) flash site way back in early 2014. Amazingly, perhaps, this is only the third bottle consumed in those nearly nine years. I have to say that I am glad I waited as this has developed into that "older champagne" kind of vibe that I love so much. Straw, almost yellow in the glass with wonderful citrus, golden delicious apple, and a whole bunch of yeasty yumminess on the nose. Whoa. The palate is initially fruity, but that autolytic aspect takes over almost immediately and it is wonderful. Yeasty, tart, fruity, all elements are there in spades and the finish is lengthy and spectacular.

November 21, 2021 - Retail $45. 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. While this is not my favorite producer in Champagne with the name "Paillard" attached to it, it is a Grand Cru from my favorite town in the region, Bouzy. It has been an amazing four years since I last opened a bottle of this wine, but it is doing quite well, thank you very much. Bright green apple with some white peach as well, buoyed by some fresh biscuity notes on the nose. The palate is balanced with that fruit, the yeasty goodness, and an intense tartness. Really close to a Whoa. Really close.
