A late disgorged Champagne with superb rich brioche nose and palate. Shows great finesse and balance. An excellent pairing with cheese, particularly the Champagne friendly Langres and some complex hard cheeses such as Comté.

Bu avec Bulle, Meursault et Mike LM lors de notre traditionnel souper Super Bowl LI…avec une orgie de bouffe pour l’accompagner. Fromages (Truffo, Hatley, Alfred le Fermier, Bleu Élizabeth, Migneron), terrines, Saucissons, Dinde fumée, Prosciutto, Pancetta, Oignons confits, mousses de homard…etc). Très jolies bulles fines et nombreuses. Nez sur la crême, le beurre et les amandes. En bouche, frais, vif et vineux. Belle salinité avec des citrons et de la pomme, un peu de craie aussi. Assez long et persistant. Très bon.

Lots of creamy, vanilla mousse on the nose. Some apple, but also the minerality presented itself as bitterness that was at times distracting. Good chardonnay flavor. Interestingly, more aromatic at colder temp than warmer, perhaps due to strong carbonation.

Avons dégusté ce vin avec mon tartare de poissons, saumon atlantique frais, sockeye fumé et pétoncles ... Une couleur d'un vert très pale, de fines bulles, la pomme domine au nez et les papilles goûtent la pomme, la canelle, le kiwi et plein d'autres saveurs ...

Ouvert dans le cadre d'une dégustation verticale de L.A. Cetto Nebbiolo Réserve Privé. Pour couronner la soirée et se déglacer le palais, nous avons ouvert cette bouteille.
Nez d'amande fraîche, de pomme rainette et de mie de pain frais. Bouche acidulée avec finale amère mais toutefois une texture enrobante. Devenait meilleur en se réchauffant. Simple et tonifiant. Le représentant au Québec me disait que le producteur ne possédait que 15 hectares de vignes et avait une parcelle sur le Clos du Mesnil. Sa production serait en agrobiologie. C'est le seul Champagne de récoltant-manipulateur que j'ai bu jusqu'à maintenant.

Brought to a group dinner; unfortunately got too warm on the ride there. Still solid for the money with nice apple, toasted almond and plenty of yeast. Solid

Very disappointed in this Champagne - very poorly made. This ran out of beads within 30 mins. Nose is overpowered with yeast which masked other potential secondary aromas. Also a bit flabby for a BdB. This was disgorged in Oct 2010 - my guess is that it's over the hill already.

Clear beige/straw yellow color. Nice steady stream of bubbles.
Fresh clean young nose, red apples, tangerine, hints of sourdough. Starting to develop, some subtle tones of chocolate/mocca, some butter. The minerality of chalk plays through the whole nose. Very clean refreshing on the palate, very well balanced. The residual sugar plays very well here. The mousse is very comfortable, an elegant wine. Also here the minerals seem present. The finish is medium long, with some fruitiness of apples and minerals.
(Think it was degorged April 2010, but before I could confirm my friend threw the bottle away...)

At restaurant Trio, Malmö. A nice, bone dry champagne (zero dosage) with generous lemon, almond cake and vanilla. Lovely acid and fresh, relatively long finish.

Nice nose with apple, citrus and elegant touch of bread. Light to Medium body with taste of lemon and apple. Quite impressive for the price (260 DKK ~ 40 USD). According to bottle notes grapes were harvested 2002 and 2004.

Tremendo deguelle del 2011 encontrado por arte de magia en una cervecería de barrio.
Pastelería, barro, flores, fruta madura. Nariz definida, cambiante, desarrollada.
La boca, que se presagia quizás algo más pesada, es pura seda, profunda y fresca, capas de placer.

Terres et Vins de Champagne 'a Portland; 5/17/2013-5/18/2013 (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Quieter than the rose, showing soft minerality. Nice apple core on the palate with good sweetness of fruit, some gravel notion, and overall fairly pretty. The finish is nice and soft, but gets into some intense minerality as it lingers.

Beau vin mousseux, sec, assez droit, je ne pensais pas que nous étions en Champagne mais pour le prix, rien à redire, surtout si acheté lors d’un 10%.
