September 24, 2023 - This is amazing. Wonderfully balanced. Lot of red apple, lite acidity and tannin. Just wow, little brioche to round out the fruits
September 6, 2023 - Holy smokes this was amazing. Started with honey and really great acidity. Added some baked bread, those round breast cookie things. Finally added some green apple after a couple hours. Amazing rich color and so much body. Really spectacular.
July 10, 2023 - a superlative wine. unbelievably dense in terms of weight, yet searing in its acidicity and freshness and youth
October 11, 2022 - Mature fruit, a mix of bruised and non bruised yellow apples, some depth, rounded and mellow. Nothing to age further.
July 24, 2022 - Rich complex & delicious, perfect pairing with golden ossetra
December 31, 2021 - Gorgeous rose gold color. Beautiful nose of wild strawberries, soft bubbles, elegant. Happy New Year, perfect celebration bubbles
September 25, 2020 - 2011 Cédric Bouchard Ursules (2015 disg) was good at lunch. Calm and pretty with a very refined soft mousse, bright and vibrantly smooth.
February 11, 2020 - Bottles drunk with lunch or dinner while in Burgundy; 2/10/2020-2/14/2020 (Burgundy): A rare grower who's wines are consistently on point for my palate. Lovely combination or richness and precision (without being overly taut and fruit-stripped, my complaint with most grower-esque bubbles). Terrific density and palate energy throughout. 90-91
February 11, 2020 - Burgundy, Day 1 (Beaune, France): At La Maison du Colombier. Doesn't show much of the greenness of the vintage here, which I quite like, but broadly speaking, this has some more of the white grape flavour than I'd have expected. Slightly coarse mousse but overall drinking nicely.
January 4, 2019 - Delightfully fresh and youthful.
