Corked. Cork was completely soaked and wine had leaked out into the cap.
Smelt like wet dog the first 10 minutes but started to show the quality that could have been.

    Stored in a air conditioned cellar.

I’m somewhat on the fence with this wine - the last time I tried it, I had a glass of the Audoin Clos du Roy first, which tended to emphasize this wine’s shortcomings. I did not repeat that error today, as I tried this before the Salomon.

And don’t get me wrong here - this is a nice wine. But because Marsannay is viewed as a “less favored” locale in terms of white burgundy wine pricing, you can get the next tier of wine from this producer for only $10 more a bottle. And while I am a big fan of cellar defenders, when the price for the single vineyard wine is as minimal as that, I honestly think you are better served by spending the extra bucks and getting the more complex wine.

Champagne Blind Tasting 5/29/22 (Jackie's House): Tasted blind along with seven other Champagnes between 10 people. Prices ranging from $15-180.

Pale lemon. Delicate and frothy mousse, still very young. Med+ intensity of green fruit notes, pear, green apple, some almond, pastry, brioche, and floral notes, honeysuckle. Not overly tart, very balanced. High acid, med+ body. Great flavors and mouthfeel. Definitely holding off from opening next bottles for at least a few more years. WOTN for me. 93-94++ pts

Pristine bottle, perfect cork, level <2cm below the cork. Slender and fresh, harmonious and together, tobacco smoke and cedar, beef stew and toasted nuts, vestiges of red berry fruit, still some tannic grip, lively and transparent, dry but fragrant finish with a touch of Seville orange. Lovely.

This seduces with its violette pastille, lavender, sugar dusted blackberry and sweet smoke bouquet; frankly you could simply nose the 2010 VV and feel amply rewarded with its aromas, like human catnip. While creamy, velvety and opulent on the palate, there's a tart red currant twang that mixes with a bump of acidity and inner herbal tones to create wonderful contrasts that leave a lasting impression. Yes it's structured, and frankly I wish I had another five, not ONE, in the cellar, but still--the pleasure factor on this now is totally off the charts. Bury deep if you only have one or two, or indulge if you have a case.
