Long finish
February 22, 2024 - ritkgit snygg och på en perfekt plats.
July 28, 2023 - Absolutely lovely. Fresh lemon acidity and bruised yellow apples. Improves in the glass and this wine continues to impress!
April 15, 2023 - Single-varietal champagnes: Placed the vintage correctly with the ripe and vibrant fruit that was typical of 2002s, but thought it was a BdB as the acidity was quite prominent still. In a good spot where the developed honeyed fruit and acidity are just about in balance, would suggest to drink this soon before it becomes more oxidative and loses its vivacity. Unanimous favourite of the night including mine.
December 5, 2022 - SAC: 2002 Retrospective: First champagne of the night and of the original five the one that I went back to at the end to see if I really did like it as much as I thought or if it was just the benefit of being the first glass of champagne in my glass in the evening. This is good. It's more of that pear/apple style where it's a touch lighter and the orchard fruits and clean in style. But really drinking quite well. Something to keep an eye out for in the future. Changed the way I see this producer.
October 19, 2022 - Mire lemon than last time but complex, bright, unique and delicious, even better than my last bottle. Great length.
August 9, 2022 - Matage’s note nailed it.
October 23, 2021 - Drank with Matt Franco and Vandy crew in SD
April 17, 2021 - big expectations for this blanc des noirs cellared since 2014. Nice bubbles, golden yellow in the glass, nose of aromatic scents. At the palate the aromatic component is confirmed, a little bit lacking expected minerality. Just a little below expectations although well crafted. Paired with a squid soupe, after a long ride to Adda and its power plants
January 17, 2021 - Baked Apple, almond sable with acidity to match. Drinking very well
