OK, details first -- 60% pinot noir, 40% chard. 55% 2019 vintage, 45% 2017/2018. Disgorged Jan 2023. Medium copper. Scant coarse mousse. Brioche and pear on the nose. In the mouth, grapefruit fruit and acidity, brioche on entry. Singing citrus acidity. Slippery and salivating saline texture. Long but linear finish, clean and refreshing. Really enjoyable.

Medium garnet. Sour cherries on the nose. In the mouth, sour cherry and cranberry with zesty acidity. Mild tannic grip. A hint of garrigue in the mid and a short, linear finish. Thin salt lick lingers in the mouth after the finish.

Pale straw. Lemon pith and brioche on the nose. Scant fine mousse. In the mouth, rich and musky pear and melon. Structured and rich mouthfeel. I'm not quite sure how to put my finger on what I don't like about this... it's too rich and dense almost?
