December 27, 2020 - Aged with fine bubbles. Mature but not overly oxidized. Acidity was fully decomposed and drinking beautifully.

January 9, 2020 - Beautiful acidity and freshness. My first 92 champagne and it is gorgeous. Thanks to Loewe. Went very well with the pizza!

September 15, 2018 - An incredible birthday dinner: Deepening yellow-gold colour with a tinge of copper throughout. Vanilla bean, orange peel, red berries, lemon and cherry - quite bright and open. At first the intensity of the fruit stands out on the palate, and while it clearly has impressive driven power, it is with some air that it settles and it shows off a more fresh and lifted element that gives it extra dimension, balance and verve. Great length and while I think it is close to its peak, another 5-6 years wouldn't see it slow down.

May 17, 2008 - Reveals itself slowly, like a charcoal tombstone etching taking form. For the first glass, it's difficult to see beyond the surface texture, and then it beginsto render the details with stunning lucidity: vibrant cherry fruit that segues from a jammy confiture to plump, fresh, juicy berries, followed by a clean finish that plasters the palate with the chalk of Champagne’s soil. It's not an especially complex wine, but remarkable for how vividly and precisely it renders the attributes it has. It doesn’t so much taste of cherries but feel as though a fully formed cherry were suspended in your mouth in a vinous version of molecular gastronomy: cherry in shape and flavor, betrayed as liquefied once you succumb to the temptation to bite into it.
