Sunday, December 3, 2023 - As far as 2011 vintage champagne goes, this is definitely one of the more successful ones that I have tasted. That being said, it does lack vibrancy, not to mention persistence when it comes to the finish. All of that aside though, it is enjoyable and pleasant enough. Is it worth its price tag though? Well, not really in my humble opinion. While it is good (especially as far as the 2011 vintage is concerned), the elevated price tag stings a bit since the palate is a bit flat and the finish is so unsatisfyingly short.
