Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 28, 2021 - Purchased from Garagiste in December 2012 and delivered in early 2013. Based on the initial offer, I believe this was disgorged in May 2012. Blanc de Noirs made from 100% Pinot Noir.

This is big, rich, weighty, and very complex with tons of effervescence and an aggressive mousse. Medium gold color. Seems to be in the early “mature phase”; mostly tertiary and secondary notes: pronounced and focused aromas and flavors of crusty dry bread, dried Marzipan dough, roasted nuts, spicy red berry, cooked Maraschino cherry, bruised apple, poached pear, lemon rind, and a huge salty mineral streak underneath. High acidity provides freshness and balance. Dry, tangy mouthfeel with “layers” of flavors making the finish sensational and very long. Enjoyed with assorted hard cheeses and antipasti. This can be enjoyed now, but it seems to have enough structure and focus to drink well for another 3-5 years. Outstanding Champagne.
