March 31, 2024 - PnP chilled. Stunning, exceptional stuff. Lighter bodied style with just a touch of lees and toast. Clean, bright, fruit. Bubble stream was fine and light but exploded in the mouth. Long finish. You could drink the all day.
Wonderful Champagne. Don/Julie's bottle. -

March 16, 2024 - much controversy exists re: 2011
some in a wine group said to avoid completely
ok , not the greatest comtes I have ever had, but the bubbles and crispness were similar to other better years
liked by all at tango sur
I would say this is not the year to lay down for a long time -

March 9, 2024 - Excellent champage and really blossomed as it opened up and warmed up. Fantastic initial light flavors of lemon-like flavors that Bec one more complex after an hour or so. Great QPR.

March 1, 2024 - Mittleres Goldgelb, feine Perlage. Offene Nase, Hefe, Apfel, Bisquit und auch Honignoten. Im Gaumen mit feiner Textur, rund, cremig, mit einer gewissen Opulenz, ohne dabei schwerfällig zu wirken. sehr feine Perlage, gut balancierte Dosage. Im Abgang lang, weissfruchtig, mit Zitrusfrüchten, Pfirsich, Kräutern und einem salinen Finish. 93 vvPunkte

February 14, 2024 - Like drinking the water from a cold mountain stream of snowmelt running over river rocks. Austere but with depth and intrigue. Closed up right now, like the 2008 Comtes was a few years ago; it remains to be seen whether it will open up in the same way — hard to guess given how few 2011s there are.
