  Tasted blind. Powerful nose of peppery cologne, ryebread, and lemon curd. Fine bubbles. Toast palate, and very focused. This is turned up to high volume.

  Medium maize color with moderate mousse. On the nose, this showed some toasty bread and rich, ripe fruit aromas. This was well-balanced and tasty on the palate, with the mature breadth of flavor expected of vintage champagne. This had only faint minerality and a residual hint of acidity, keeping it out of the top tier of vintage Champagne. However at $50 bottle, this has a good QPR and represents a huge upgrade over your favorite name-brand non-vintage champagne with a yellow label (for a similar cost). Enjoy over the next four years.

  Monthly Tasting Group: Champagne and Sushi (Sushi Fix, Wayzata, MN): Light gold color. Lemon mousse, foamy, mineral, light, lime, sea shells. Nice finish with big minerality and some chalk. This was much better than a bottle a few months ago. Very nice. 90+pts.

  Brought to a dinner. Small pour, decent temp. Liked this. Thought it was round and full with lots of minerality especially on the finish. Spouse said I should buy more which is always a plus!

  I am unfamiliar with this producer, and the small taste I had of this was disappointing. For a 2002, this was extremely simple and light. I hope this is indeed in a dumb phase.
