  February 28, 2024 - Any Rhone (A Side Public House): This reminded me of an extra brut, lean, mineral-driven, fruit is tart, a minimal amount of complexity.

  February 25, 2024 - Monthly Tasting Group: All the Rhones (A - Side Public House, St. Paul, MN): Pale gold color. Small glass over 15 minutes. Crisp green, apple sweet tart, lean and minerally, yeasty. Quite good.

  March 8, 2023 - This Champagne is fruity, pleasant, fresh and decently structured, but it offers nothing special, when it comes to aromas and flavors. Not quite bad for the moderate price, though.

  January 27, 2023 - 100% Chardonnay from 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in Côte des Blancs. 12,5% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Quite youthful, pale yellow color. The nose feels a bit simple with somewhat linear aromas of ripe citrus fruits, some spicy red apple, a little bit of stony minerality and a hint of fresh yellow fruits. The wine feels dry, linear and a bit round on the palate with a medium body and flavors of mealy yellow apple, some chalky mineral tones, a little bit of fresh yellow fruit and a hint of saline minerality. The mousse feels creamy and persistent and the acidity comes across as quite high. The finish is dry and clean with a medium-long aftertaste of fresh yellow fruit, some red apple tones, a little bit of chalky minerality and a sweet hint of ripe citrus fruits.
  
  A pleasant but quite simple and one-dimensional Blanc de Blancs that offers very little depth or complexity. This is just a decent, clean sparkling wine with very little or anything that would make me think of Champagne. At least the wine isn't as lean and austere as some young Blancs de Blancs can be - something that might have to do with the warmer vintages - but I guess that also translates to the anonymity of this wine. This feels more like a 15€ Crémant than a proper Champagne. Meh.
