March 25, 2017 - A bit of funk surprised us on opening. Nose cleared up after 10 mins.
Fine consistent bead. Colour is part way between typical rosé and an RD Bolli.
More brut than rosé on palate , ie light fruit, good acid and mineral.
In short, very good but not great rosé champagne. -

June 20, 2015 - We agree with recent reviews. It's in a great spot but seems to have aged more than I expected. Recently drank the 2002 which is a tough comparison but the 2002 is still remarkably fresh where as the secondary notes are coming out in this. Really enjoyable but depends on the style one likes.

March 1, 2015 - This was in a beautiful spot, but a little more advanced than I would have expected given the age and the near-perfect storage this has had directly from release. Leaning more into the aged notes of caramel, baked apples, and honey. I'd love to drink this again, but if I had more in the cellar I'd check in on this repeatedly throughout the year. Drink now - 2020 with good storage.
