    March 29, 2024 - The scores here are ridiculously low for what is an elegant, complex champagne with notes of green apple and freshly baked croissant. I don't usually do points but someone needs to speak up for this wine--I will!

    January 13, 2024 - From a split; this is solid and perfectly enjoyable if rather non descript; tastes like a fairly standard Champagne, but I say that in a good way.

    August 17, 2023 - Fourth generation wine maker. Aged in Chablis barrels apparently. Wood fermentation and wood aging is the idea. 48 months in the bottle aging and then loads of dry extract to it. No malo, so the acidity is rather punchy. That is pretty darn tasty stuff indeed.

    July 6, 2023 - France Trip; 6/29/2023-7/10/2023 (France (Paris, Burgundy, & Champagne)): Rich, crisp, felt more Pinot noir fruit underlying the palate at times. Delicious and fresh
