April 5, 2023 - January 2020 disgorgement. Paired this with the 203 Larmandier Bernier Levant, I served them both blind too. The guys around the table had correctly put the L-B on Chardonnay (which is correct) but they did the same with this Suenen. It's remarkable how pairing and blind tasting can cause influence to how a wine is perceived. There is a density and more overt fruit on the Suenen, which contrasted to more elegance and a tighter wine in the L-B. Would have liked to taste the Suenen again but the bottle got drained and my notes from last night are pretty crappy.

May 31, 2021 - Served blind to me, and I was able to nail the Pinot Meunier but then I started to try to guess the producer and I was hung up in the Marne Valley. Instead, this is farmed up above the Montagne, not far from Chartogne-Taillet and Miniere. Disgorged December 2019, 1 gram of dosage. Distinct richness here, yet it's contrasted with both slate and dried lime, as well as oranges and strawberry. Lively acidity. This fooled me for a higher dose wine. The quality here is superb, and I passed on the offer for these last year when I could have locked them up. So, to taste this was a treat. Excellent bottle of Champagne here.

March 7, 2020 - Wine in the time of Corona Virus - Quarantining in NYC & NH; 3/7/2020-9/1/2020 (NYC/NH): From the wine list at Tokyo Record Bar (NYC). 2nd bottle of the night from a grower I have only recently discovered. 100% Pinot Meunier from 50 year old vines in Montignyo-sur-Vesle. Disgorged Dec-2019. Lots of red berries on the nose, racy acidity and spices. Very good and paired well with the Japanese tasting menu.
