Wow. So pure. Lip smacking acidity throughout the palate, minerality can’t stop won’t stop. Super chalky. BQ getting quince. Quite possibly the longest finish I’ve had on a champagne. @ Chambers

Very low carbonation, with a slightly chalky notes. Creamy strawberry, toasted almond, and with air picks up a mushroom earthy note. Mid palate shows quite heavy with a plumminess. Tasty but really lacks acidity/energy. It's such a unique wine, and i'm glad to have tried it.

Three years since my last bottle. Stunningly good, and a massive over-performer for the vintage. Delicate, savory, and complex. Sadly my last bottle, and I don't expect to see another any time soon.

Fantastic. Elegant and subtle, with a very interesting flavor profile of light and soft red fruit with a firm mineral backbone. Should be really interesting with some age.

The most interesting champagne I have ever drank! A nasty burgundy funk that blew off to reveal a sublime Pinot rose that was perfectly balanced with notes of red fruit and mineral with a lingering finish. Well worth the price and effort to bring back from France. Would work well with food. Drank with Jeff and Chris to celebrate the cubs victory!

Opened by Mark. 350 bottles made. Disgorged April 2015. Grapes sourced from the one third hectare Creax D'Enfer vineyard in the Côte de Bar. The grapes are stomped by foot. 100% Pinot Noir. Made in a Rose de Saignee style. Funk on the nose at first but it blew off. Light pinkish orange color. Loaded with character. If you are looking for a champagne that epitomizes terroir, this is it. Notes of red fruit, smoky mineral and a crisp woodiness. 96 points
