Tuesday, October 24, 2023 - Phillipe passed away this year. Pierre is now the brother left. And his son came back to the estate from Paris as a computer programmer and he came back during COVID to run the domaine. One of the original estate in the portfolio.

30 years ago they were known as being out spoken. They were also custodians taking care of the old grape varieties. And those go into all the different wines.

5% or maybe 10% are the other varieties. And Gabe notes that its really dry.

Smells softly fruit, with a fruitiness as entry into the palate, and I suppose the finish is dry, but to me, not terribly dry because the mid palate give some weight to follow it through. Has a bit of an urbane funk to the nose as well.

It's labeled as Brut but you can always trade down. So this could be extra brut. But they decided the market might give push back so why bother?

18 month on the lees, 60% 2020... and then...

Stainless steel with a little bit of wood.
