Community Tasting Notes 2

  September 3, 2023 - My last of two bottles. September 2018 disgorgement from mostly Meunier, with about 20% Chardonnay, all from the 2016 vintage (per the back label). No dosage. Peachy/gold in color. This is tasting much like the first bottle that I had back in 2020, very consistent in fruit, acidity and structure. So, three years between bottles, yet the wine remains the same vivid and bright as the first, which says a lot about how well this wine was made and the stuffing it possesses. Dried lime, blood orange, strawberry and a cleansing, saline finish. Cranberry is also in this bottle, and it's in the finish too, adding a nice grip. I paid $40 for this wine back in 2019, and I would buy more of it based on the way this is built and how lovely this wine shows. Once the weather cools down, I'll seek out some more, for sure.

  April 3, 2020 - First bottle of two that I purchased last year. Disgorged September 2018, zero dosage. The label says Pinot Meunier with just under 20% Chardonnay. The color is a pale peach. The core of this is a lovely tangy strawberry, blood orange and stone fruit like a peach/plum. Finishes with a little leesy note, mint and good structure. Refreshing and crisp.....and for an update on Day 2, what impresses me about this wine is the crisp structure and lime acidity. The best way to say it is the wine seems alive, vivid, energized. Really good Rose, actually if there was a category for peach color, then it would be that. Great color on this, a really overall terrific Champagne.
