    upon opening was very mature with mushroom and musty nose. I assumed it was over and dead. We let it air and sit for awhile and what a massive change. Just great, near maturity champagne with a bit of honey, almond, apple with a laser focus. What a treat!!! Aged champagne is so good and this was a great example why I continue to chase it..

    SangioFest, Volume III "It's my favourite spot" (Chicago, IL): Easily the best bottle of this I've ever had. Everything in its right place, with this perfectly aged chardonnay profile that is simultaneously crisp and fresh, but showing the maturity that you would expect. Brilliant acidity, a broad, opulent profile, and intense minerality. This bottle could certainly compete with the Salon; it's just a shame that in my experience, that's not a consistent statement.

    [Blind] Reductive, yeasty, brioche, sulphur, immediately reminiscent of DP oenotheque, which I don't always find in CdC. Palate is youthful, vibrant, sharp acid. Crispy lemony, but good. Reference, excellent condition. High citrus. Young showing.

    In my experience this wine is incredible consistent and always shows up, and this bottle was no different. Still youthful with lemon curd, rocky minerals and autolytic notes on the nose which was so expressive and engaging. Rich and vibrant on the palate with tremendous tension and acidity. Fine bubbles give a beautiful crispness to the layered and almost creamy texture. Superbly balanced, complex and complete. A reference CdC and a brilliant 1996 that is clearly in a great window for enjoying, but has a longer future of positive development ahead. 95+

    (Not a) birthday dinner (Hinsdale, IL): Good, not great bottle of this tonight. Plenty of the expected chardonnay cut, but a little more browned and missing the cut that I want from Comtes. That said, this was still plenty clean and minerally; the acidity just wasn't as dialled in.
