Community Tasting Notes 7

  March 22, 2024 - Super beautiful apples and classic brioche butter nose. Lovely dark breadcrumbs especially in the empty glass. Full bodied generous palate, caramelized apples and creamy mousse. Lip smacking acidity and salt on the finish. Much too young but great already. Always love this producer. More than most this needs air and acually room temperature. 18/20

  September 25, 2023 - (Disgorged in September 2020, 100% Meunier de selection massale in Villers Allerand, dosage 4 gr/l, 4 424 bottles made)
  Light yellow colour with a youthful nose showing green apples, minerals and with a very acidic and crisp finish leaving a saltiness on the lips.

  April 30, 2021 - 3 days in Napa: Arkenstone, Memento Mori, Maxem, The French Laundry, Christopher Tynan, Kinsman, Harlan, Vice Versa, Accendo, Fairchild, Macdonald, and a truckload of others (Napa): A steelier showing this time around. It either didn’t like the stemware it was crowded in, which disabled it from spreading its wings and offering up the depth I’ve come accustomed to enjoying from this wine, or it was just in a more furrowed-brow mood. This was a quick pour and I had less time to evaluate it before moving on to the stockpile of other wines we were throwing around that night. Perhaps careless service on my part. I’ll have to report back after the next at-home test.

  April 23, 2021 - Book Club - Reunited (Steve's Place): Blind: lost in space - thought it was a 3 varietal blend - probably a big house. The end.
  
  I really like this wine because it has bits and pieces of everything. There's a bit of dosage but not out of control and the wood treatment is balanced with the fruit and acid. My favorite of the flight. The amount of CO2 kicked off is amazing, stuck my nose in for a whiff and there was no oxygen and I gasped. Not a good sight. The aromas were pronounced. yellow, red, and green fruit with a touch of caramel.

  April 22, 2021 - Bookclub--Wines Tasted Blind: Poured blind. And I purposely arrayed this Maillart right in between two different disgorgements of Mousse's Mon Village, which is a perpetualle blend of Pinot Meunier. And as this Maillart being composed of Pinot Meunier, it created additional context with those two wines, too. The Mon Village is non-dose, whereas the Maillart has 4 g/l of dosage and is also raised in wood, which helped add even more contrast. Disgorged June 2020. Ultimately, the Maillart stuck out as richer, citrusy more flashy and seductive with peaches, pears, lime and some chalk. I liked the Maillart but ultimately the 2018 disgorgement of the Mousse Mon Village beat the Maillart for me.
