Opened this up about 6 hours ahead. It needed that time to breathe. Inky purple. If I didn’t know differently, I’d say this was less than 5 years old just from the appearance. Still had strong tannins, but drinking well now. Made cassoulet to accompany and it was perfect. Dark berries and eucalyptus on the palate. Very long. Wish I had more. Bought this at a dinner with Alain Brumont back in 2016.

Very good sparkler. Would like to taste this in comparison with some champagnes. I think this would stand up well.
