  November 20, 2023 - Lunch with Mathilde (Tanglin Club Churchill Room): Back label indicate SAG L080113 D10. Information from Mathilde: disgorged 2013, Bready, cream, almonds, dense and complex on the palate, yet super fresh, high acid, super finish with hint of smoke. A privilege to have been able to taste this.

  March 10, 2022 - Lunch at Nicolas / Drinks at Joyce's (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): Very good - I thought this was the best of the 3 champagnes we had by some distance, and probably the best wine on the day. I really liked the nose on this, with its rich scents of honey and apples, maybe a hint of strawberries, along with notes of earth and caramel and a hint of smoky toast, all just teased by a shade of slightly oxidative tones. The palate was as rich as the Jacqueson that preceded it, but far fresher and more well-cut, with fine mousse and bright acidity giving shape to full flavours of lemons, apples and ripe strawberries, all lined with plenty of minerality as the Champagne wound its way through to a long, juicy finish. With time, some notes of lemon rind came out, along with a linger nutty toastiness. A really nice drop - perfectly balanced, with an elegant strength to it. This feels like it is just beginning to come into its own now, though I would wager that a few more years of development in the bottle will make it even better.

  April 10, 2020 - It had been a minute since I had a truly great wine experience. Thank you Margaine! This had tete de Cuvee texture and was a great expression of brilliant chardonnay champagne.
