4+ hour decant. Incredibly strong nose of purple fruits, and just a bit of wood spice. Bursting with red and purple fruit flavor. Perfect mix of structure and drinkability. The spice level in the finish works really well to bring it all together. A really nice wine with a long great life ahead.

BdB from all over the Côte des Blancs, spent 4 years on the lees, disgorged April 2023 with 5 g/l dosage. Round feel, lush, bit of spice and caramel notes. Green pear, green apple, big acid. It doesn’t really emerge much even with some time, definitely one to hold.

really austere to start on pop and pour. Nice ripe green pear underneath, but a bit overpowered. Revisited two hours later, and the air helped pull the fruit and acid forward a little, but not anywhere near expectation. Think this needs a ton of bottle time.
