  I am a little bit on the fence on this one. A complex and very fruit friendly wine. Had the brioche notes that I like. But it felt like the wine lacked a bit of freshness and acidity.

  Home-drinking - Vivacious but quality mousse. Lots of yellow fruits. Pear, quince. There was apple too as it opened but Pinot-led flavours are less pronounced than one would expect from the 60% PN in the blend. Lot of amplitude and fat on the midpalate. Should get more layered with aging. It feels like the underlying fruit was appropriately ripe. Together with the medium dosage (by todays standards) this lends a nougat-like quality. Acidity is medium minus. Clos des Goisses is a famed long ager. A perfectly good drink today but better things beckon with time

  While this was a nice magnum of wine, it certainly was not worth the entry fee. It had citrus and mineral, sharp, and a maybe a tad short.

  This was a simply splendid bottle of champagne. It needed about an hour of air but then flowers, peach, citrus and apricot. Really intense but beautifully elegant mouthfeel. Lovely bottle.

  Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. From Jero. I went to this with great anticipation after having tasted so many good, high end Champagnes already. It did not let me down. Very youthful but very expressive with generous pinot spice, flowers, 2012 charm and excellent freshness. Similar to the Egly 2008.
