  September 15, 2022 - (From magnum, Disgorged in 2021, after 32 years on lees, 100% Pinot Noir from Ecueil, dosage 4 gr/L)
  Spiciness on the mature nose showing dried herbs, yellow plums and some nuts and opens up with a lovely hint of charcuterie and sherry. Intense on the palate focused on raisins, honey and yellow plums with a very lengthy finish.

  September 24, 2018 - Almost a yellow colour and lots of bubbles left, a pleasant smell of autumn forest (not decay), red apples and croissant. Taste is fresh and wide, still acidic but in a nuanced way, it is not overpowering, I think of more apples and croissant (not toast with butter) but also nuts and some tones of cloudberry! I like this and think it is definitely time to drink this now, I can't see this improving more. Had this with fried scallops with green herbs for starters and beef with mushroom, green beans and fried raw rice together with an almond vinaigrette as a main course. This wine was a perfect companion to both dishes.

  September 5, 2018 - Wonderful bottle, perfectly stored. Light dosage (to my personal liking) but plenty of ripe fruit and some bread. A very nice vintage to open on a casual wednesday.
