Terre du Mesnil is vintage champagne fermented and aged in old oak barrels selected from the best parcels in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Already on the nose, it is very fleshy with an enticing blend of honey, toast, some nut, caramelized pineapple, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is developed, round, and lush with cream puffs of the finest! But also delicate flavors of orange and tropical fruit, mixed with fennel, vanilla, and toasted bread. An elegant wine with power and tremendous length.

Nice brioche and orchard fruit notes, but suffers for me due to the oxidative notes on the nose.

Pausing for the Cause Fundraiser and Dinner (Galit - Chicago IL): Lots here, just (maybe) not yet? So much orchard fruit but with an austere edge.

Quite nice for the price. Pretty toasty, but not overly so, but pretty fresh and elegant, without having any bitter notes.

Brioche and distinct minerality on the nose. Excellent and classic. Drinking well. Nice benchmark and classic cuvée.

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club" 2022-1; Vintage Port (@ RvD by PvL): A lot of fresh acidity and focused minerals. Tight and precise. Excellent Champagne.

Brioche and citrus in the bouquet. On the palate a good mousse, citrus, minerals and fresh acidity.
