10/27/2023 - Somm David T Likes this wine: 94 Points
Beautiful cuvée with age. Bottle bought 10 years ago and likely disgorged around 2010 or so.
Black cherries, liqueur tangerines, dried stone fruits, blackberries, mix of black raspberries/raspberries, rainier cherries, delicate but razor sharp chalkiness, limestone, sea spray, sea fossils, bread dough, baguette crust, soft wine spice, rainbow, floral bouquet, shape acidity, good tension, excellent structure & balance. The finish is elegant with power that lasts minutes. Excellent with Duck Confit, goat cheese with herbs.

Enjoyed a taste last night of the bottling with MV15 on the label. Very approachable, fine effervescence, although it was a bit strong with the new oak influence that was a bit like a sparkling Puligny Montrachet. Good acidity and approachable right now, and a good match with seafood based appetizers.

A very gastronomic champagne: some food (lobster e.g) is a necessity: it is a heavy wine: fenchel, herbs, liquorice with an extreme long aftertaste. It is impressive and maybe slightly exaggerated. I do not know any MV, but for sure not young anymore.

Half bottle with no number, but was purchased from retailer as a MV13.
Surprisingly biodynamic in style. Compared to a previous half bottle from same lot, this was much fresher. While enjoyable, I'm not completely sold.
