Fantastic. Drinking great now but no need to hurry. I’ll save my other bottle for a few more years to see how it develops. Alexandre Chartogne is doing great things in Merfy

Lemon curd and honey on the nose, some brioche and roasted nuts, a little bit of cherry as well. Zippy acidity right off the bat and it’s even zippier on the finish. Lemon, pear/quince, raspberries for days, chalky backbone and a really nice mild bitterness on the finish. 100% PN but feels like it has more of a Chardonnay electricity. Angry at myself for not buying more.

Well this is pretty. Classic PN bubbly nose with lots of lemon, berry, and some brioche. Excellent intensity and depth on the palate with good foamy mousse. Balanced and striking.

Dinner with the wine group (Zazie's, San Francisco): Blanc de noirs. Golden, nice bead; brioche, bready, also some fresh lemon-lime, good midpalate persistence; medium length finish. Very nice, solid champagne. 90-91

Pinot noir. Bottled 7/2014. Disgorged 6/2018.
Slightly golden color with delicate bubbles.
Nose golden fruit with hint of honey.
Palate initially some acidic lime, then golden fruit.
Still seeming young but pleasurable and fun to drink
