Nez de pommes et fruits blancs, bouche assez ample, petite vinosité rappelant que c’est 100% Pinot Noir, bulles crémeuses, quand même une belle finesse, fort savoureux. 91-92
Gorgeous Champagne, creamy bubbles, wide and intense but with freshness and finesse, loved it.

2014 base, disgorged June 2019. 100% Pinot Noir. Nothing to dislike here, and very much enjoyed at the time, but writing this note the next day I can't say the wine was particularly memorable. Already not that effervescent. Weighty, with a depth of fruit, good balance of acidity and some marmitey umami towards the finish. Worked well as an aperitif and continued to be good once the food was served.

Decanted for 1.5 hours before serving. Very Chardonnay like with good structure (from Pinot?). Dedicated lime, flower and fruit. Light and good finishing.

Mouth filling juice! Made from the 2013 vintage. Dégorgement in June 2018. Dosage 4g/l, extra brut yet full bodied vinous champagne nicely balanced by citrus freshness. Love this champagne!

Plum Market Luxury Fall Tasting (Chicago, IL): 2012 edition, I'm told. Super fresh and electric, this has the right amount of fleshiness to balance out those hipster new-wave zero-dosage elements. There's a sweet lemon note here as well, and the palate has a nice richness to complement it. An outstanding wine from one of the masters of new-wave champagne.

This bottle is less complex to another one we tried. Maybe bottle variation. Still very enjoyable. Decanted before serving (time unknown).

Pleasant champagne to sip with our selection of Les Freres Marchand cheese. Nothing special...
