4/27/2024 - Frank Murray III wrote: NRNovember 2021 disgorgement (as all of the past bottles have been, too). 50/50 Pinot Noir/Chard. No dose, and sans soufre. The aromatics on the reminded me of clay and citrus mixing together. Citrus peel, some red fruit (cherry?), orange that evolves to tangerine, apricot flesh and a cool pineapple. When cool and first opened, this is more lasered with a freshness that makes the wine feel leaner. But with air and some relaxing of the temp, the wine fleshes out, the finish really lengthens and a minerality arrives. I stoppered up a full glass within the bottle for tomorrow and I'm gonna give this another good look and see if I have the descriptors here nailed.... |

4/25/2024 - r.o.man Likes this wine: 93 pointsDisgorgement 12/23, vintage 2021. Still very primal and rough. Nevertheless the juice is enormous. Full mouthfeel and almost oily texture. Very pleasant bitterness. Compact and precise. Light, clean and very long. Great and will only getting better. |

4/6/2024 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 91 pointsSome fun wines with buds: Light ruby color. The nose shows a bunch of tart cherries, raspberries, with spicy herbs, white pepper, some tobacco, and mint. The palate is crunchy, light, zesty, elegant, with red apple peels and tangy raspberries. Lots of spiced tea, pickling spices, tobacco, mint. Tasted blind, I guessed this as a Jura Ploussard. |

3/28/2024 - NickA Likes this wine: 92 pointsDosage 0 g/l, 50:50 2015 base Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and no sulphur. Disgorged September 2020 and happily still in good condition, even fresh. This is really interesting, with real tension between the intensity of the developed flavour profile, and the lack of dosage leading to a sort of underlying sharp nothingness. Mushroom and sharp citrus, incisive and intriguing: I can't get a handle on it, but I want to keep trying to. |

1/24/2024 - MartyL Likes this wine: 90 pointsLovely delicate Pinot fruit on the nose on opening, the aromatics grew less fruity and more savory with time in the glass. On the palate it's the acidity and clarity that are most notable. Close your eyes and you could be drinking white wine. I rather liked this. |

12/8/2023 - KeithAkers wrote: 91 pointsE&R Champagne night (E&R Wines, Portland OR): The nose is fresh and complex with red berries, bright red cherries, rose petals, saline, peaches, nectarines, toasty notes, biscuits, vanilla, and some pears. There is good depth and style here as it really leans into the red fruits over autolytics. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and fresh with tart, high acidity. The acidity is really refreshing and provides a great spine while the red fruits on the nose are expressive on the feel. This is just as lovely as the bottle I had last year. This has shown excellent consistency with it going more into the red fruits. |
