    July 16, 2023 - Märkligt nog inser jag att det mesta av mina tre år gamla noter från senaste flaskan gäller fortfarande... Mycket bra, men en aning sluten.

    July 6, 2023 - Delicious champagne. Acid without being tart. Tiny beeds of bubbles. Apples, lemon

    January 30, 2023 - Snålt betyg senast. Denna är helt underbart krämig och snygg

    November 14, 2022 - During a BdB Champagne blind tasting dinner. Very rich wine, tons of toasted oak and butter on the nose, rich palate, enough acidity to support it. Good but as far away as linear Mesnil usually is.

    April 22, 2022 - Popped yesterday, and this was kind of a mess showing disjointed with a bit too much nervous energy and aggressive mousse. Turns out it just needed time. Much better today as the mousse has softened. I would say this deserves a decant if you need to drink this now. No disg info on the btl.

    Notes from 24 hrs open, in the fridge overnight. On the nose: lemon, vanilla cream, soft marzipan, and loads of Mesnil chalk. On the palate: stunning acidity, altogether more well-put-together; grapefruit, loads of chalk and wet stone, lemon oil and a kiss of vanilla. Juicy and vibrant finish. This needs a **lot** of time if this btl is representative.
