91 Points

Monday, December 28, 2020 - (Disgorged in fall of 2015, base year 2009, 100% Pinot Noir)
Lovely red colour with an endless stream of fine bubbles, this is still feeling very youthful with lots of red berries, fresh dough and minerals in a very pleasant way. Should reward further cellaring to get some more intensity on the finish.
(Probably best with 5-20 years extra cellaring)

I’m looking to pickup some, but am curious if this is a wine that does best with age on it? I know it’s done in 100% in stainless and is 85% (~) of vintage base and 15% (~) reserve wine. That technique and ratio makes me think it needs years of cellar age to gain complexity. True or no? Thx.

But I recommend storing LP Rose for at least an extra 5-10 years and 20 years isn't a problem either.

What current year base are you guys on there? I’m in the US and it’s hard to get any disgorgement info. on these.
