April 15, 2023 - Soft and elegant. Small stream of bubbles, lemon and citrus on front of palate and also on finish. In the fruit camp, not in the bready or yeasty camp.

November 10, 2022 - Does not show any particular development to my taste. Nice orchard fruit with still lively bubbles and medium acidity, but fails to reach a "next level" in terms of flavor or aromatic complexity today. Kept in cellar since release, I don't see this improving from here.

March 27, 2022 - Real nice place, brioche, golden apple, acid, sap and verve in an elegant frame. With time this reserved wine has expanded and gained weight as well, I’d drink Over the next 5 yr
Certainly fresher than the 2011 rose the other night (which is more oxidative on release) which seems to have a shorter life span if showier on release1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 12, 2021 - Blinded the group. Most thought this was high end aged Champagne. 95 was guessed by 2 people. Brioche, lemon, hints of oxidation (leading to Selosse comparisons), bread and some coffee notes. Good acid and structure backbone. Really enjoyable. Disgorged in 16
