Great weight and texture for this price point. Very young though, seems like all the parts have not integrated yet. This could score significantly higher in 5 years.

Lovely nose of red berries, red apple and some wheat bread crust. Taste of red fruits, slight sweetness to the fruits albeit not at all jammy. Firm acidity and freshness.

This was excellent with great structure and depth. Sadly I drank it as I was developing Covid and later while I was still somewhat anosmic. So my memory is mostly of the structure and texture, which was very fine. Will need to try again.

Slightly dark for a relatively young champagne. Powerfull nose, red apple, and bread crust. Full body, quite powerfull taste, lots going on and seems like a wine with potential although it aleeady drinks well. M+ acidity

Lovely golden appearance Very leesy, mature and developed nose - rich notes of pâté, toast, mirabelle plum. Quite racy in the mouth, taut and vinous, great intensity and drive (even a touch of astringency) but there is also a creamy richness and more of those stone fruits. Feels luxurious, feels special.
I think this is 80% Pinot Noir? But really didn't shout of red fruits. We enjoyed it very much, it drank so very well, and I expect it would age beautifully too.

(Disgorged in 2019, 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, dosage 9 gr/l) Light yellow colour with a greenish hue and a youthful nose showing minerals, raspberries and opens up some with some roasted bread and Brazil nut in an intense and lovely way. Nice on the palate that is dominated by intense citrus acidity before opening up in the glass showing a nice creamy mid also showing some lime citrus sweetness on the lengthy finish. Still very youthful and should reward a couple of years of post-disgorgement to settle down but it’s hard to resist the youthful intensity at this point! (Best 2023-2038)

Really good without being overly exciting - as ever rich, tangy, a touch of grip.

Fine, rich, tangy, with a touch more finesse than the Collection.

Didn’t live up to my expectations, as it seemed a little simple and muted, albeit a lot better than the basic Le Mesnil BdB that came before it.
I suspect this needs a year or two to really show.

Broad and creamy juicy citrus and green apple, with excellent depth and a lovely chalky base providing needed grippy structure. Excellent.

We really enjoyed this. Toasty bread aromas, crisp red apple and almonds with a full body.

Lovely buttery nose. Needs more time to integrate the acidity.

Only a slight step below the Cristal 2013 for now. Cristal will age better.
