Went very well with both Toast Skagen (shrimp mayo salad) and fish with creamy sauce. Nice full body but still fresh.

Pale straw appearance. Generic aromas/flavors of lemon peel, green apple, brioche, toasted almond. Ok acidity level. Pedestrian length of finish. This style of champagne is overtly yeasty for me and overpowers the character and purity of the fruit which I don’t love.

Yeasty, med/high acid. Screams Cote de Blanc BdB. bottled in 2017, disgorged in 2022. May benefit from a bit more bottle time.

(Disgorged in May 2023, 100% Chardonnay from Chouilly, dosage 4 gr/l)
Light yellow greenish colour with a very youthful and tight nose focused on chalk, lime citrus and minerals at first, but with extended time in the glass it reveals what to come with butter, popcorn and lovely roasted coffee notes. Same tightness on the palate at first all is covered underneath a chalkiness and green apples acidity, but with time in the glass it reveals how well it will be with further cellaring opening up with creamy mid and with an lemon zest oiliness on the lengthy finish. This is a very well made, but need more time in the cellar to open up..
(Best 2028-2043)

This was not ready, super tight and main characteristic was a lot of bitterness. Tried over 3 hours and not much development.

These 4th generation growers have been producing their own Champagne since 1929 and are located in the town of Chouilly. They own 18 ha spread across 40 parcels. 100% Chardonnay from their oldest Chouilly Grand Cru vines in the Cote des Blancs which are planted on shallow chalk soils. 6g/l dosage. I previously had the 2007 and 2008 vintages of this wine and this 2012 was the best. Light yellow color. Moderate bead. Cotton candy nose. Very bright on the palate with notes of chalk and almonds. 94 points.

Picked this up at Dornans in Grand Teton which might be the coolest mountain town wine shop in the country.

$64.25 on the shelf and paired perfectly with the pizza made next door. A perfect way to wrap up a Snake River float.

Nice leesy character, broad, creamy, rich, hazelnut, brioche, dessert like on the nose and lush, definitely a sense of age here, more than I would have expected. Acid seems to have fallen off a bit, as have the bubbles and in doing so the dosage leaves it slightly unbalanced. Still a fantastic QPR at $45. '14 disg

The last of my 3 bottles. This bottle is an example of the adage that there are no great wines just great bottles (my last bottle was scored 84). Light yellow color. Fantastic aromas of butterscotch on the nose. Moderate bead. Notes of chalk, meyer lemons and almonds. Creamy texture. No signs of being over the hill. 93 points.

Great value here. Very nice nose of apple and lemon. Some brioche and yeast as well. On the palate the mousse is fine. Great acidity. Nice finish with some chalkiness and bitter herbs.

Beautiful nose of fresh yogurt and peach preserves served on fresh brioche. Mouth-filling, this is tannic with bracing acidity as well as medium-full bodied. Delicious, this should evolve effortlessly in bottle. 93

Chouilly. This was initially a bit thin and boring, but rounded out with air and ended up being quite pleasant to drink. The style reminded me a bit of Gimonnet, whose wines I rather enjoy in riper vintages but find a bit slight otherwise. Overall I was happy to drink it, but it's not something I'm inclined to buy again.

BdB disgorged Feb. 2022 after 3.5 years on lees. 3 g/l dosage. Slight caramel apple notes, pear, some persimmon. Leans a little to the oxidative side but retains a freshness. It walks the tightrope between rich and acidic well, only wish there was a bit more strength in the fruit.

Bottle 1609g. "Dosage Zero". Moderately intense aromas of lemon curd and brioche. Very dry – evaporates in the mouth – with elevated acidity, fine mousse, and a saline and vinous finish. Gives an impression of seriousness: more for food than an aperitif.
