    February 24, 2024 - Similar to prior notes after PNP; delicious & ready to drink

    February 14, 2024 - October 2019 disgorgement, which would be 2017 base with reserves from 2016 & 2015, as far as I understand.

    If I had one word to explain this it would be juicy. That character of the fruit is just that, fresh and vibrant raspberry, strawberry, pear and lime. Some autolytic notes, hints of minerality along with an herbal character that I enjoy.

    As it opens up the mineral note turns into a side show of chalk on the palate. Good balance of acid and body. Nice finish, wishing I had more of this wine. I also love the color of this. Rosé champagne is just fun.

    February 9, 2024 - This really delivers for the price point. Very fresh, vibrant, zesty with sweet strawberry fruits. Aromatic and full bodied. Not particularly lean or linear, however, showing good depth and complexity.

    February 4, 2024 - Vilmart--Emotion and Coeur de Cuvee (select vintages), the meal anchored by Astrid (My House In The South OC): October 2020 disgorgement, Cherry, strawberry with a nice lick of minerality in a zesty package....fortunately I have the leftover bottle from last night, with plenty of wine (and C02) for retaste today. Salmon/pink in color. This is a very good iteration of Rubis. It has the density of a riper year, yet the acidity is plentiful, allowing both parts to work together. For me, more in the unctuous side of things, with a cool blood orange coil running through it, alongside a vein of strawberry. Stylistically, this works really well, so long as you're Ok with a richer, fuller expression of Rose.

    (NV Vilmart & Cie "Cuvée Rubis" Brut) ($89.00) The 9/10 disgorgement is sold out at the estate. The next one, which I didn’t taste, will be released in October ’11. (BTW, the vintage Rosé called Grand Cellier Rubis is astonishing in the 2000 vintage. As great a rosé as I’ve ever experienced.)
