Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 17, 2023 - beautiful looking bottle, fun experience sharing with other members the experience of a highly rated universally liked bubbly. but in fact, although we quite liked it, and drank it all with no difficulty, for the price, locally $100, and $85 on wine searcher, i would say it is quite overpriced. for my taste this was slightly less enjoyable than a $65 veuve cliquot nv rose. over the last few days we have tried 4 nv rose's: mailly $65, montaudon $43, laurent perriier $100, and veuve cliquot $65. Of these, we will probably not try the first two again, and the last two were very similar with the veuve preferable in taste and enjoyment. For the price difference that makes the choice easy. if money is not a consideration, this is quite nice and would probably be better with more age. the disgorgement seems to have been in 3rd quarter of 2018.

of course part of the fun of the exercise was having something different every day and the chance to compare and discuss. so that is worth something. cheers!
