  (Disgorged in April 2015, base year 2009 with 30% reserves, 100% Chardonnay from Chouilly, dosage 2 gr/L)
  Yellow colour with a nose showing incipient maturity with notes of ripe green apples, cream and minerals in a very pleasant and refreshing way. Delicious palate showing fruity green apples acidity combined with butter pear and a crispy mid before an oxidative note of ripe green apples together takes over on the creamy finish. Matched the Caesar salad perfectly!
  (Probably best with 1-5 years extra cellaring)

  (Disgorged in April 2013, base year 2007, 100% Chardonnay from Chouilly, dosage 2 gr/l)
  Light yellow colour with a maturing nose showing hazelnuts, citrus and chalkiness. Gentle citrus acidity on the palate with a nice butterscotch note on the mid with a nice minerality before the smooth and pleasant lemon zest finish. This was perfect in the windy but nice afternoon sun before going to a friend for dinner. This has really opened up with the extra cellaring and reminds me of their Millésime 2007 on magnum I opened last year!
  (Best with 3-6 years extra cellaring)

  Basår 2011, deg 11/2017.
  Stendammig, flinta, supertorr, kantig, hög syra och grape. Svårt att plocka fram något annat, syra och torrt rakt igenom. Inget för den fege. Jag är feg så…

  Tasting together with Jérôme Legras.
  
  Even more concentration compared to standard BdB.
  Mineral. No oak. Sharp in a nice way.
  Different mindset of making this one.
  100% Chardonnay. 100% Chouilly. Only top of the hill vineyards, they are more salty. Elevage 5-6 years making softer acidity. Less reserve wines to not make it over creamy.
  Dosage 2g/l. MLF, no oak.
  
  This Cuvée is a huge step forward and probably my favourite, considering QP ratio.
