    March 28, 2024 - Took to the six atmospheres dinner at Oeno Maris, and shared Paulee style, tasted perfectly mature and nicely balanced, there’s some poached pear, lightly toasted cashew nuts and a good line of acidity, just lovely

    March 25, 2023 - Golden in colour, first there’s some ripe orchard fruits, a touch of caramel, nut and then comes spun sugar, the acidity just about keeps this fresh through the lengthy finish

    November 30, 2022 - 'Le Lievre a la Royale' Long Lunch (cafe EPURE, Shop 403, inside Epure, Level 4, Ocean Centre, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong): Quite mature-looking pronounced golden yellow colour. Drank as an aperitif but would have beneffited from light food such as Prawn Cevice or Scallop Carpaccio. Shows some age in terms of a fast-dissipating mousse but it’s still there if you swirl the glass. Still nicely languorous and persistent streams of bubbles. Nice nutty nose, lightly roasted hazelnuts, some oak, nicely matured. Predominantly Pinot Noir. Lots of character. Much more mature than 2002 DP or Cristal and I think it is probably at peak maturity. Lovely. My first time with this producer. 92+ Thanks, Pierre!

    March 6, 2022 - Golden color and medium bodied. Less crisp and with candy and slight sweet flavour due to age. Overall good for those who like aged champagne.

    June 23, 2021 - 빛나는 황금색을 띄고 있으며
    기포는 오래가지는 않는 편
    꿀 바닐라 오크향이 굉장히 짙게 나며 소테른스러운 느낌도 남
    향과 비슷하게 맛도 꽤나 잘 익은 오크숙성 사도네이스러운 느낌과 샴페인의 상쾌한 산도가 같이 존재하는 신기한 와인임
    다시 먹어보고 싶음
