Community Tasting Note

  January 1, 2020 - Smooth and refined, palate cleansing Champagne, featuring a buttery nose of lemon, baked apple, and a touch of honey - tell-tale BdB characteristics right off the bat. Not too complex, medium-bodied, good concentration, and quite seamless, nothing out of place. A mix of citrus and nutty flavors flow across the palate to a long, suave, and expressive finish. The bubbles faded somewhat after a few minutes in the glass, so I'd say it's ready. It's quite pleasurable, but not worth the $85 price-tag (although my wife gave it a 95).

  Not sure how the vintages vary. I’ve only had this 04’ from them. They rolled out the 09’ by me. I might grab one hoping the ripe 09’ vintage brings more to the table in complexity.
