    April 13, 2024 - Excellent NV Champagne. Just a little yeasty for my personal taste. Good fruit, acidity, and bubbles.

    April 2, 2024 - Fresh, green apple, pear, slightly salty, some biscuit. Prefer their Rose

  • Bjweiss Likes this wine: 90 points

    March 30, 2024 - Solid performer. Lots of green apple and spice notes, especially cinnamon. Dosage feels a touch high for my taste, so serve chilled if you want to lessen that sensation of sweet. Very enjoyable though.

  • Sinclelz Likes this wine: 93 points

    February 16, 2024 - 2019 base, disgorged early 2023. Complex and delicious. Combines the best of a floral and citrusy champagne with toasty and nutty notes. The large amount of reserve wines in the blend really shows through, as does the low dosage. A contender for my favorite champagne.
