February 10, 2024 - these need lots more time
December 17, 2023 - WOTN at a tasting of fourteen. Just excellent. Flowers and orchard fruit galore. Classic. 95
April 9, 2023 - Excellent champagne!
April 16, 2022 - Lovely bottle. Easy to drink, easy to like, but also with plenty of attitude and depth.
December 31, 2021 - Fantastic Champagne with some acidity, ripe yellow apples and minerals. In the mouth it had a very pleasant toasted taste and a medium long aftertaste with some grapefruit. We loved it!
December 28, 2021 - bright yellow color, gorgeous nose of wrinkled apples. light cream note, brioche, on the palate decadent, apple with a bit of pear, very ripe and full, earthy mousse and berry notes around the edges, good long robust finish, this may be a bit lacking in elegance but it is thoroughly delicious and already showing quite well.
**(**), now to 2032
December 17, 2021 - Found this one in a storeroom today and decided to pnp immediately,
what a fine nose, lemon zest and limy aromas on the nose initially,
on the palate a wagonload of lemon driven freshness, really great crispy tension right from the start, very young and spicy showing, all aromas today more on the fresh, clean, mineral, acidic driven side, great finesse and elegance, good + length,
if you prefer a more full-bodied and brioche like balanced bottle this one is not for you today, I do like this very good freshness driven bottle from on of the well known but smaller big house producers, will improve easily another 5+ years, **(*-****), around 92,93
June 26, 2021 - A little disappointing relative to the price...some nice intensity, a little more on the acidic and citrus side with some nice nuttiness
March 8, 2021 - as before - delicious toasty, zesty bubbles.
should have kept a few of these back, but too good now
March 7, 2021 - ‘12 Blanc de blanc and Brut side by side. A fairly robust and angular blanc de blanc, showing the ripeness and power of the vintage in a typical big house style. Pretty good, though lacking the lithe elegance of my favorite BdBs. Young with lots of life.
