  Magnificent complex nose where floral aromas, smoke, citrus fruits and chalk intertwine.
  
  Energetic mouth on sweet spices, wet stone and white flowers. Magnificent balance with a filigree acidity that brings this racy wine to life. Very discreet bubbles The wine is vaporous but develops an undeniable presence; it stretches in the mouth until a magnificent finish with beautiful grapefruit bitterness which then gives way to a beautiful saline length.
  
  Excellent champagne which impressed me with the character, complexity and energy it exudes.

  Vincent Couche ADN Montgueux 2009 ist Champagner trinken für fortgeschrittene
  
  Bereits in der Nase ist dieser Wein ein komplexes Monument: Apfelschale, kandierte Birne, Curry, Safran und Blätterteig strömen aus dem Glas, das alles ist mit einer noblen Oxidation unterlegt. Der Wein fliesst zart cremig und dennoch federleicht über den Gaumen, die elegante Perlage wirkt dabei absolut unaufdringlich. Die Säure hingegen ist enorm straff und lebendig. Sie bringt den mineralischen Charakter noch mehr zur Geltung. Die würzigen und kandierten Fruchtaromen findet man auch im Mund wieder, dazu kommt die Couche-typische Kräuternote und ein mineralischer Kern. Bleibt enorm lange haften und trinkt sich wie ein grosser Weisswein. Ein Charakter-Champagner, der viel Aufmerksamkeit verlangt. Ein herrlicher Solist, und ein Ausnahm-Champagner mit Charakter, der unbedingt in ein grosses Glas gehört.

  Spectacular champagne. Precise bubbles, lush texture from extended lees, bright, slightly oxidative grip. Robust. Not elegant, it's true power, with a lot to say.

  Moved from the cellar to a regular refrigerator for a while and then popped and poured. This is a shimmering, light yellow wine with a fine bead. On the nose, I get bread yeast, lemon, and an array of freshly cut apple scents. In the mouth, this is pure and focused; the flavors flow through on the edge of a fine scalpel, displaying yellow fruits with rapier acidity. The finish is crisp and lingering, with a subtle hint of brown sugar. Overall, this is very fine (and refined) indeed; it’s a slightly austere Brut Nature Champs, but one filled with character and quality. Happy to have more bottles. 92 points.

  Unico + BBQ Makes for Quite the Night (Los Olivos, CA): My first encounter with this and I was super-impressed. The wine gave a off such a high-energy feel, with loads of concentrated and complex brioche, citrus, mineral and saline notes, complemented by a sort of smokiness I really liked.
