Sunday, May 6, 2018 - Probably the best champagne I've ever had, leaps above Krug GC and Taittinger Comtes. PnP'ed - initially you can definitely tell it's got age on it with the color and nutty/oxidativeness on the nose/palate and so much complexity going on and with robust acids to balance. Nose has that oxidative brioche. Palate is very balanced, right in my wheelhouse being not too oxidized/nutty. However - about 2-3 hrs later, this thing went into another gear. Nose just blossomed like a crazy white burg with white flowers, light citrus fruits, minerality. Palate was similar to a white burg too, oxidation went into the background and juicy fruity acidity came to the forefront. A wow wine. 2015 disgorgement date.
