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.
