90 Points

Saturday, August 6, 2011 - 10/2010 disgorgement; 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot. This was a great way to celebrating unpacking our last box after moving! Finished this one a little faster than appropriate, perhaps!

Lovely little thing, though. Creamy yeasty apples is what I get up front? Bubbles are not delicate or shy; they evacuate the Champagne rather quickly. Despite much effort it was impossible to pour without generating a foamy beer-like head in the flute. This is not a delicate wine -- it's blunt, brutish, and all over the place. Less a crisp and decisive Champagne, and more of a mouth-coating brooding affair. I found it quite pleasant, and satisfying at the price point.
