    October 31, 2021 - Acquired on site between 2007-2010. Part of a tasting “NV with age”.
    At first to much cellar tones and nailpolish but whit a bit of air a brilliant wine. Seawater and lemonpeel on the nose. Lots of age but still fresh acidity. Vanilla and sherry notes.
    Quite a few participants had this as the least good wine but just as many as the best one, no one thought it was bad though!
    Conclusion: Let your NV rest some time in your cellar!

    August 25, 2021 - Base 2009.
    More open and lively than the 2008-base I tasted last year.
    Will still improve a point or two with cellaring.
    A great champagne in its price-range as always!

    July 10, 2021 - Unknown base but bought at site in 2009 so guessing late 1990/early 2000.
    Nevertheless, it's brilliant! Cream, grilled lemons, vanilla and saline. Still fresh fruit and acidity. Long aftertaste. These gems will easily keep for a decade.
