November 19, 2023 - Tasted double blind. While not yet fully ready, this is already drinking on a 93pts level with upside for more. The complexity is already quite stunning and with more age, the structure should match it.
TN: Brioche, dark berries, some faint citrus and minerality on the medium+ expressive bouquet. On the palate this still has some edges and will need to come together in the cellar for a few more years. But it is open with quite complex aromas with the Pinot notes dominating with an array of forest berries and the Roederer brioche to complement. Not too much weight from mid palate on but with a long finish.
Decanting: No decanting needed.3 people found this helpful Comment -

September 15, 2023 - Lovely and mellow wine that has a bit of sparkle to excite the crowd.
Very lively nose full of perfume laced with citrus and pear notes, brioche and a touch of earthiness. Elegant and sublime body that has lovely acidity, tension and a mineral finish.
Drink now to 5+ years.2 people found this helpful Comment -

August 16, 2023 - Clear light yellow, nice medium mousse. Intense autolysis nose, hints of spice and red apple, more driven by dead yeast than fruit. Delicious slightly creamy, apple, pear and pastry flavours and a long dry finish.
A wine of depth.3 people found this helpful Comment -
