Community Tasting Note

  December 23, 2014 - Consistent with my impression when first tasted in September at Gimonnet. This really is a great champagne that shows lovely acacia on the nose and an incredible minerality, depth of fruit, elegance and precision. I know I am repeating myself, but for me this is my best value find of top class champagne in 2014. This (for me) beats a Salon 1999 I had not too long ago by quite a margin. Interestingly enough after keeping one glass for three days with a champagne stopper in the fridge it had mellowed just a tad and showed more elegance, but was showing absolutely beautifully with a great length (normally I find that using a stopper and keeping an unfinished bottle shows some significant deterioration post the first day). I am really curious to see how this one develops, it will just be very hard to keep my hands off this beauty.
