  I was a little worried opening this after the P. Peters Les Chetillons 2004, but it really stood up to it. Perfectly mature and open for business, with notes of citrus, bruised apples, some sweet spices, some chalky minerality too, some honey, nuts and just overall nice structure and fruit. It‘s medium-full bodied, with pretty high acidity and some slightly creamy mousse. Very long finish. An excellent grower‘s Champagne of a very high level.

  Fantastic nose, subtle oxidative nose, bruised apples, Selosse style. Very good palate, dense, cinnanom spice, touch of oak. Wonderful.

  Just gorgeous, my last bottle from a full case. From 2008 base year, DG 12/2012, with no dosage.
  I have patiently consumed about a bottle each year, and my notes consistently show this as thrilling, bright, yeasty, incisive, complex, long, and oh so delicious...each and every bottle. I visited this House in Champagne several years ago, and buy L-B wines regularly. This DG is still gorgeous, and should hold up another 10 years...but perfect now.

  Saline & dry, minerally and oxidative. Very buttery with nuts with a silky smooth texture and a very long finish. A layered complex champagne that is more of a glass of white wine with bubbles rather than a straightforward sparkler. CHP 95 pts
