March 1, 2024 - Delicious champagne, while still young with real upside ahead. Refined bubbles, creamy and delicate texture, good balance, decent depth. Very enjoyable now, but I suspect it will develop more weight in the coming years. Drink some now, and hold some as well to assess the evolution process that should benefit this very nice champagne.

February 27, 2024 - Drank at a restaurant with sushi; first time with this cuvee; it was good with lovely citrus and stone notes alongside some hints of brioche and spice; good depth and balance and seems like it will definitely improve with time in the bottle; not quite at the level of the other famous tete de cuvees, but priced accordingly.

February 14, 2024 - Liked this. Had half glass. And back to this again, was better than last time I had it but still not at the levels of other vintages.
Not the best Grande Dame compared to the 96, 04 and 06 but still nice. Could be 93 points just had a slight sweet thing going on that dropped it for me. Regardless wouldn't kick it out of bed. Last time I had it I did kick it out of bed even with beer goggles. -

February 10, 2024 - It seemed too young and closed to me. As one of my friends pointed out, there was little bit of honeyed pear on the nose, which was pleasant.
