  December 29, 2022 - Silky mousse, a little sweeter than I'd expect from a Brut but not too sweet. Ready to go.

  August 15, 2022 - We were walking through our favorite neighborhood in France (rue Montorgeuil) and stopped in a mini-grocery store at the north end of the street just to check out the selection. When I saw this for a mere 37€50 I knew we had our wine. It opened without much of a fight at all, just a simple sigh. Golden in the glass with a slight, but fervent sparkle and a heavy brioche nose with just a hint of lemon. Whoa. One of those wines that I could sniff all day. The palate is quite dry, so dry, in fact, that I was expecting to see “Extra Brut” on the label (but it’s labeled as a Brut). A weighty mouthfeel with intense secondary (brioche) and even tertiary (honey, beeswax). Holy cow. I have had a few trips around the block when it comes to vintage champagne and this is fairly extraordinary.

  January 1, 2017 - Bolhas finas e elegantes. No aroma amêndoas, maçã ultramadura própolis suave, leve floral, marzipã. Boca com alguma cremosidade, agradável. um pequeno porém perceptível defeito na trava de meio de língua. Final médio.
  Para um millesime de 14 anos, da safra incrível de 2002 em champagne, foi quase decepcionante.

  September 10, 2016 - ​Mid coppery-gold. Brioche bouquet. Very light mousse. Palate quite yeasty and nutty - almost like a fino sherry. No discernible fruit.
  Quite pleasing if you like aged Champagne.

  September 12, 2012 - In a tasting of 10 different Grande Marques vintage 2002 this was tied for last place. Not much concentration or character, seemingly on its way down. This producer has undergone some improvements the last decade, but is still trailing quite far behind the leaders, which imo were Roederer and Möet.
