    May 11, 2024 - At the tasting...

    Color. Pale yellow.

    Nose. Apples, toast, yeast

    Palate. Bright apples very very ferocious and delicious.

    May 8, 2024 - Retail $60. Exceedingly Heavy Bottle (838g; 1lb 13.5oz). 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, 25% Pinot Meunier. This was one of the 200(+?) wines at the Wine Spectator Wine Experience in New Orleans and the winery's representatives suggested that I take a couple bottles of this wine. Um. OK? Quite nutty in the glass: macadamia, almond, and perhaps walnut on the nose with a touch of citrus and pear. Lovely. The palate is tart, rich, and quite yeasty. Outstanding. 93 Points.

    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!
