Community Tasting Note

• The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 92 points

  April 8, 2024 - Retail $60. Exceedingly Heavy Bottle (890g; 1lb 15.4oz). 57% Chardonnay, 21% Pinot Noir, 22% Pinot Meunier. 69% based on the 2011 vintage (31% reserve wines). Brilliant straw in the glass with plenty of citrus and loaded with the autolytic element (think freshly risen croissants), this is what one looks for in champagne. Add in some white peach, a bit of spice, and a mineral element and this nose is top-notch. The palate is bright, tart, rich, and layered with plenty of fruit, a nutty component, that flaky croissant component. There is also a tough of greenness here, no doubt a result of the less-than-stellar 2011 vintage. But that is a merely nitpicking; this is fantastic. 92 Points.
