Community Tasting Note

  • csimm wrote: 95 points

    January 14, 2024 - Reminding me of a Marguet Le Parc I had recently, this LB is an exquisitely built BdB, with a beautiful yellow and green pear-driven profile, carrying additional white travertine-meets-yellow citrus notes that circle the flavor wagon in perfect formation. This drinks young, needing some air to allow it to unfold, but it keeps on truckin' throughout consumption. The energy is precise and direct, but with a voluptuousness that repeats the prominent stone fruit and finishes with both succulence and saline liveliness.

    I'm a total fan. (Pushing 95-96+ points). Hold a bit for additional complexity. Lots of verve here, but it is already so balanced and carries perfect flavor distribution.

    100% Grand Cru Chardonnay. 2012 vintage. June 2022 disgorgement. 2 g/L "Brut Zero." 12% ABV.
