Community Tasting Note

Caruso Likes this wine:

Wednesday, January 1, 2020 - "Cette bouteille est la 579 de la cuvée 73... Dégorgée à Bouzy, le 20.09.18."
So they write in the small booklet you get if you buy a bottle. Inspite of the small time of bottle age this performs great yet though it is going to age gracefully, I guess. Honey, apple, brioche, pear, toast and nutty notes, almonds in a highly elegant yet intense and powerful style and at the same time so light on its feet. Mineral driven, chalky, almost salty finish. Small fine bubbles. This cuvée never was disappointing in contrast of some bottles of prestige cuvées of the big champagne houses and it is a real bargain as well. Thank god, under the radar of many professional tasters and undervalued in my humble opinion. 5/13/18/10. 19/20 from Weinwisser ("Rein stilistisch eher ein Champagner für erfahrenere Weintrinker als für Etikettentrinker", which means for experienced winelovers not for "labeldrinker") and 95/100 from International Winereports. -2030+ in a cool cellar.
