  Probably the best bottle out of 6 we have sampled so far. Effervescent was more obvious. Still some acidity but much more balanced. Toasty fig of the Pinot with smoky notes. A pleasure to drink!

  This was a really great wine. Floral honey, caramel, and salinity and meatiness of smoked salmon. Toasted Christmas cake. Balancing acidity. Wish I had more bottles.

  Really great. first of 4, It was aged, yeasty and vanilla, I really thought that the other tasting notes were correct. Polarizing.

  Chevillon Roncières vertical at The Bristol (Chicago, IL): 50% pinot noir, 50% chardonnay. 8 g/L dosage, disgorged October 15, 2014. Yeah, this isn't my style of Champagne. It's super round and a total umami-bomb, and there's none of that taut acidic tension that I love (granted, it's not that the acids are low here, it's that the tension isn't there). There's so much autolysis here. Pol Roger's got nothing on this. Really, really opulent, large-scaled, and to me, more than a little cloying. It's not the zero-dosage stuff that's hipster anymore (that's so over). This style of champagne, like they made a long, long time ago, is the real hipster deal.
