No formal notes. Delicious bubbly. Still vibrant. Good acid. Citrus and minerals. Grand Cru fruit shines through. Very very good.Could still get better, but drinking well now.

Grower Champagnes from the Cote des Blancs (Hi-Time Wine Cellars - Costa Mesa, CA): An intriguing Champagne, one that keeps drawing you in. Notes of talc and chalk and cheese rind are followed by crisp green apples and pear. Even though the midpalate does drop out a little, I loved the citrus-laden acidity of this wine. 89-90 points.

Wonderful Champagne. From old vines in Avize and Cramant, vinified in oak, 5g/l dosage, bottled in May 2001 and disgorged in June 2007. Pure and precise, high acidity and balanced, beautiful green olives and mineral notes along some salty almonds and yeasty flavors. Really nice way to start a meal.

Did not show as mineral as the previous bottle but still very good, lively Champagne. Good citrus and leesiness.

Very good. While the oak showed a little more than last time, it completes the wine very well. Very mineral, precise and pure. Loved it.
