  January 16, 2024 - Disgorged 07/2023, 7g/l
  
  I’m normally not one to harp on dosage, but this is a Champagne that it’s noticeably “higher”. I actually would’ve thought by taste it was in the 8-9g/l range.
  
  Fairly basic, apple, pear on the nose and very slight buttered bread note. Ripe lemon and tart green apple on the palate.
  
  Thankfully this bottle was given to my girlfriend over the holidays by someone at work. Would I drink it again? Sure, if I wasn’t paying for it. It’s not that bad, but as we all well know in this thread, there’s a lot of better Champagne out there.
  
  Edit: thinking a bit more as I finish this, maybe it just needs some more time post disgorgement.

  August 20, 2023 - Family Holidays; 7/28/2023-9/10/2023 (Alicante - España): By the glass. Blend of a majority Meunier (70%) and with a rest of Chardonnay. Very fruity on the nose of both black and white fruit. Don’t expect complexity here. On the palate it’s a fresh bottle with no balance. No expression of terroir neither depth. In short, a champagne, at best, as starter.
  
  Por copas. Ensamblaje de una mayoritaria Meunier (70%) y con un resto de Chardonnay. Muy afrutado en nariz tanto de fruta negra como blanca. No esperes complejidad aquí. Al paladar es una botella fresca sin equilibrio. Sin expresión de terruño ni profundidad alguna. En definitiva, un champán, como mucho, para el aperitivo.

  September 17, 2022 - Crisp, fresh, and delicious on the palate with plenty of lime, green apple and grapefruit notes amidst hints of creaminess to the texture. Bits of brioche, tart white fruit, and ginger on the finish. A hit with Thai food from The Yard Food Park in Salem, OR. Half bottle.

  December 8, 2021 - 70/30 Pinot Meunier/Chard. 30% reserve wines from a 20 year perpetual reserve. 7 g/l dosage
  Classic nose, but muted, brioche, lemon zest. Palate is nice, expressive, light yeast, lemon curd, toast, hint of nutty tone. Mineral element. Solid juice.
