  November 10, 2023 - Great producer. Mineral nose and palate. Some flowers and additional complexity when it opens up. Adequate acidity to support the thickness of the wine. The wine was disgorged in June 2022. It feels still sort of thick, dense and it would benefit from another 6 months in the bottle but it is already very consumable (contrary to his reserve les belles voyes 2014, which is woody and needs a couple of years). Pure Chardonnay, blend of vintages 2016 and 2017.

  October 5, 2023 - Loads of freshly squeezed lemon and crushed stone minerality plus French bread, dried mint, and lime zest. Medium body with limited bubbles in the glass and a fine mousse in the mouth that survives texturally through the long finish. The acid is very present, but avoids being sharp. It has great balance on that front. Flavors include lemon and lime sorbets, light cream, slate, mint, cumin, and honey. After two hours green apple shows up and starts to dominate. It starts rather delicate, but with air it generates a decent amount of tension on a less-than-subtle dose of minerality and citrus that turns it into a bit of a bruiser. I really enjoyed the journey.

  August 1, 2023 - What a wonderful wine. On the nose, there’s a deep yeasty richness, undercut with subtle floral notes. On the palate, it’s creamy with notes of peach and a slight hint of vanilla and spice. Great value for a grand cru growers champagne, that is absolutely drinkable now, but should age wonderully too. Worth picking up if you can.

  September 1, 2022 - 노즈 팔렡.모두 상큼 상큼
  쿰쿰한 이스트향은 전혀 없는 깨끗한 블랑드블랑
  
  산미도 심하지.않고 피니쉬까지 부드럽다.
  12.5%의 알콜 함량이지만 목넘김도 부드러운 마시기 편한 샴페인
  
  넌빈이지만 가격은 빈티지급이니 이정도 수준은 되어야지
