March 31, 2024 - March 2018 disgorgement. Surprisingly well balanced and complex. Maybe lacking a bit of length and generosity. Nice bottle if you like champagne on the austere side.

I wanted to like this. I really tried. But there is just an overwhelming dead things - not hot corpse bride, alas - element everywhere from stem to stern. The texture is perfect, to end on a positive. -

January 21, 2024 - It's a good/enjoyable wine, but I probably wouldn't pay more than $60 for this bottle. A little light on the palate for anything over that price point, but the acidity is decent.

January 1, 2024 - It's ok, and the bottle was emptied (even preferred by some) by end of night. That said, it's not as balanced and fresh as I prefer: maybe more chalk and mineral and a touch less ripe fruit (?). I'm probably in the minority here, so it matters not. Still, glad to have looked at the latest iteration.

November 2, 2023 - Bromley Wine Circle does Northern Rhone - 2nd November 2023 (Beckenham): Nose that takes a few minutes to get going starts with a few drops of grapefruit juice and a little sherbet pip. With some air some hints of sliced Cox apple and later some salted popcorn and a suggestion of toffee wrapper. The palate is very dry and there's a lovely quinine bitterness, dances across the palate and good length too. A find from CPH in Beaune.
