March 26, 2024 - The NV version of Maillons tastes very, very young and hard to read. Explosive mousse, medium bubbles. Quite bound up in its mineral expressionnwith sharp acidity. Missing mid palate at his point. Perhaps much better in a few years but hard to tell.

March 23, 2024 - Tasted at a social event. 100% Pinot Noir, base vintage 2012. Unfortunately minor cork stain. But you could still identify nice floral top notes, fruit of pear, apple and citrus, layers of minerality and herbs. Extraordinary vibrant and lively palate. What a pity that this was flawed, otherwise easily 95 or more.

February 23, 2024 - Base 2017, Disgorged 3/2021.
Very fine mousse. Displays early stage of maturing complexities. Freshly baked apple crumble, apricot, brioche, apricot, chalky minerals, honey, roasted nuts, sweet nutmeg and ginger spices. Broad on entry but finishing fine. -
