Pop and pour and follow over an hour. Strong yeasty notes immediately upon pouring. Mellows over time to reveal warm brioche and citrus zest. Expressive palate, lemon curd and bright acidity. This bottle was stunning and among the best bubbles I've ever had.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
Pop and pour. Once the moderate sulfer blows off, the nose shows Jasmine flowers and slate with a touch of citrus zest. Body is full and lush, coating the palate with orchard fruits, underripe nectarine, Limestone. Bright and balanced acidity, the finish lingers and brings you back for more.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
Decant off the minimal sediment. Nose jumps out of the glass with deep red fruit and spice. Velvety palate, well balanced with a tight finish. Needs more time to mellow and integrate.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Decanted 4 hours. Great fill and cork. Immediately showing a full bouquet of dried fruits and hoisin. Good fruit on the palate but a bit muted and slightly astringent finish. Not as fresh as previous bottles. Maybe decanted too long.
