February 9, 2024 - From MAG, youthful still, lots of bubbles that need to settle but the aromas are great from this MAG. Brioche, citrus, complex.

December 31, 2023 - Chardonnay from Cuis (60%), Chouilly, Epernay and young vines from Cramant, dosage 3-5 g/l, 12.5% vol.
Opened and enjoyed it together with a home made Quiche Lorraine. Starts with strong effervescence and mainly yeasty notes, gets more subtle after a while and showed fresh apples, a suggestion of lemon and a mineral touch, good acidity, medium body and good length with a hint of a lemony bitter note.
Developed nicely within the last 2 years but still very youthful and far away from its peak, will open my next bottle in two years, 91-92+. -

December 31, 2023 - Chalky mineral dominates first sips. Color is a greenish tinted gold and bubbles are lively, still youthful. With some air fruits come to the fore, pear, apple, a touch of citrus. Clean and precise, a dry style with good cut and energy. Enjoyable now and the best is yet to come.

October 20, 2023 - Hade faktiskt högre förväntningar än vad denna flaska levererade. Hög syra och väldigt grön. Dov autolys, gav en hint av fänkål vilket kändes väldigt konstigt för mig.
Kanske tunnel. Kommer inte öppna nästa flaska närmaste åren1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 9, 2023 - From 75cl, youthful, fresh-looking still not compacted cork. For bottling details, see my CT TN of 15.09.2020. Entering maturity, this is bigger, richer, heavier and more open than it was then (duh...) V. interesting play between distinct apple acidity and something much more lactic, I mean unpasteurized cow-milk-like, in the most appetizing way. 91P tonight, potential for further development.
