  I like it a lot!!
  Red burgundy with bubbles? Yes close to.
  Very concentrated with red fruits - strawberries are especially expressed in the bouquet. In the mouth the fruit intensity remains present but carried by a fine minerality and a cleaning acidity ensuring it doesn’t appear clumsy or unbalanced. A special type of champagne for sure but for me a treat.

  Will echo everyone else's notes on the intensely bright red color on this rosé champagne -- I rather like it! Big ranberry and strawberry fruit on a firm core, juicy up front, but finishes austerely, hints of woody stemmy herbs like rosemary/thyme. I think this will benefit from a bit of age but fun to drink now regardless due to the fruit.

  Blind Champagne Tasting (Astrid's House): Served blind. September 2020 disgorgement, 100% Pinot Noir without dosage. Like with other bottles of the 2015 I have opened, this has a ruby color, like a more traditional red wine. Has a cinnamon stick aroma. The core of this bottle was definitely anchored in a maraschino cherry. Powerful cherry, with a red apple concentrate, like a candied red apple that was reduced down, yet it doesn't taste sweet. Pure flavored red-toned fruit. This reminds me of a Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, one made in a lower alcohol style that is stuffed up with cherry and red apple goodness. Didn't get the cedar or cranberry that I sometimes find in Indulgence. Very good showing, as good for me as the 2014 Larmandier-Bernier Maturation that also wowed me in the event.

  Served blind. Very maroon in color. Stony nose with some cherry. Surprisingly weak fruited. Quite tannic for a Champagne. Hard on the finish. Not much to love here.

  Crazy red color. Suuuuuuper savory and bitter, almost off-puttingly so. Wasn't until the very end of the bottle that I tried swirling a glass to get rid of all the carbonation and aerate it: really really good. Decant this bottle and give it some serious air time.
