March 31, 2023 - The last of my 3 bottles. This bottle is an example of the adage that there are no great wines just great bottles (my last bottle was scored 84). Light yellow color. Fantastic aromas of butterscotch on the nose. Moderate bead. Notes of chalk, meyer lemons and almonds. Creamy texture. No signs of being over the hill. 93 points.

December 23, 2019 - This was an unspectaular bottle. Medium yellow color and showing some age. Lower bead with flat tasting fruit notes. 84 points.

July 8, 2014 - Väldigt sluten flaska! Smak av äppelkart och bröd och avslutas med småbesk citrus. Med värme i glaset så smakar det av bröd och småsura äpplen och beskan har försvunnit och ersatts av ren citrus smak. Kommer garanterat vinna på lagring, men inget som jag kommer att dricka mer av. Jag var inte överväldigad av vinet och tycker jag druckit bättre 2008:or.

June 27, 2014 - 1000 cases produced. Made from 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay from Chouilly. This estate owns 18 ha spread across 40 parcels. Total production is about 7000 cases but 4000 of them are sold 'sur latte' to negociants. Only 10% of their production is exported. Aged 6 years before disgorgement. Light yellow color. Full of power and body. Notes of citrus, chalk and biscuits. Solid bead. This will need some time to show some finesse and round out. Very nice now if you like very youthful champagne but has all the parts to improve. 91+ points.
