This champagne is absolutely delicious. Beautiful balance and delicate bubble, the wine keeps developing flavor as it sits in the glass. This is an amazing grower capable of walking the fine line between delicacy on the palate with intensity and power. Tasted this wine at the estate in August with Alexandre; it continues to improve and impress.

This was an amazing bottle of wine. Beautiful seductive fruit with herbes de provence, roasted meat, dark blackberry, with seemless tannins. Was a clear winner in a tasting of '89 Papet and '89 Beaucastel. Again, very sexy bottle of wine.

The bottle seems atypical of the vintage. Plush red and black fruit much more like '02 in Oregon. The finish is cinnamon/sweet oak spice. Actually, the wine seemed quite sweet and out of balance.
