April 14, 2024 - Baguette with crunch crust, pear, lemon juice and zest, white flower, and some dried apple. Mousse is slightly agressive. Can't find a tech sheet. Both creamy with sharpness of acid on attack suggests around 50/50 MLF/Blocked, maybe full MLF. Dosage probably on the higher end. Looks like 40/40/20 PN/PM/Chard. Some aged quality points to at least a little bit of older reserve wine. 12.0% abv. Overall enjoyable. QPR just a touch on the high side.
April 9, 2024 - Light hay shades. Brioche. Toast. Green apple. Pear. Lively. Beautiful acidity and an incredibly long, citrus finish. So easy to pair and delightful by itself. Just lovely! Today, from seafood to macaroons. Works like a charm.
April 6, 2024 - Good
February 23, 2024 - 청사과 견과류 산미는 거의없음 밸런스 좋고 피니시도 적당히있음
February 6, 2024 - Light gold color. A classic and inviting aromatic blend of biscuits, gingerbread, almond cake, with lemon bars, lime zest, green pears and white peaches, with lots of floral tones. The palate has a crunchy, flinty, fresh appeal with a nice creamy depth, pleasantly balanced. Yellow apples, lemons and limes, and juicy peach fruit mixes well with elements of nougat, fresh biscuits, honey butter, and honeyed ginger tea. Complex, refined, classic.
February 5, 2024 - Served at dinner with friends, no formal note taken. From memory - green apple notes up front with a tart citrus finish - quite nice.
January 30, 2024 - 5만원 중반의 가격
잘 구워진 브리오슈향, 따자마자 익은 향이 잔을 지배한다.
노즈에 비해서 빈약한 팔렛.
자몽의 쌉쌀함이 부족한 피니쉬를 그나마 채워준다.
산미는 적당함.
상온에서 반년이상 보관 후 마시면 훨씬 더 좋지 않을까?
50달러도 안되는 가격의 엔트리급 샴페인이지만 상급인 belle epoque의 느낌이 그대로 전달되는것이 재밌다.
January 21, 2024 - A good representative for entry level grand marque champagne, hitting a similar price point to the Dehours to really show what you can get for the money in Champagne if you go the grower path. Not a bad wine here by any stretch — in fact, the acidity is surprisingly high and pleasant here. Mostly fruit forward with little to no yeasty or autolytic notes to be found. There is some chalky minerality here, which I appreciate. Dosage feels a touch high to me, but it’s probably a good crowd pleaser. Not much complexity here, but wouldn’t expect it given the size of production and what I’d imagine is shorter lees aging. 88pts.
January 8, 2024 - sabred - and shattered - don't sabre odd shaped bottles !! With the birthday party crew !
December 31, 2023 - Yeasty, minerally nose, with a hint of ocean breeze. Palate showing crisp apples and under-ripened peach. Fine to medium mousse; slightly aggressive. I don't have the disgorgement date handy, but guessing it's fairly recent. Nice, well-made large-house Champagne. Eventually paired with, fried chicken and crab cakes.
