This bottle had more oxidation than the last and wasn’t as fresh. Still fine and paired well with several dishes - hot fried chicken thigh and French fries, in particular.

Crisp with surprisingly profound scent of red apple, lemon, shortbread. Beautiful taste to match. Full bodied but with striking delineation. Reminded me of a NV Krug. Considering the vintage and the 1er cru grape sources, very noteworthy. Considering the price, stunning. Better than Egly Vignes de Vrigny, which (to me) is saying something. Score: 93. Relative to expectations: ++

Straight up medium red apple in the nose and well, well balanced red and light colored fruits, just-enough minerality, and a wonderfully enjoyable semi-sweet finish! My first time with this champagne. I'll have more.

A very good bottle with some oxidative, mature notes. The fruit is holding up. Good balance and quite provocative.

Well-balanced light and darker fruits with a mustiness which is actually quite enjoyable! I love exploring the world of blanc de blancs Champagnes.
