Annual NYE Dinner and Champagne (My House): November 2021 disgorgement. Haven't tasted this wine since I was at the domaine way back in 2022. I thought the wine at that time was more solar, reflective of the vintage. So I decided to pick up another and revisit, serving it last night for the holiday meal. There is a liquified green apple and jasmine flower that really frame the core of the wine, finishing with a lemon peel and ginger. Later when I let the chill fade off the wine, there is even more expressiveness, giving the finish a refreshing, slatey feel. And finally with more air, some mango comes into the wine. I do now see the wine as more complex then the bottle in 2022.

A warm vintage but still a fine tuned mineraldriven BdB, only 3000 bottles disgorged 11/2021. Not tasted before , his wines are more elegant and delicious these days, he got ** in Guide Vert 2024.
