March 2018 disgorgement. Surprisingly well balanced and complex. Maybe lacking a bit of length and generosity. Nice bottle if you like champagne on the austere side.

I wanted to like this. I really tried. But there is just an overwhelming dead things - not hot corpse bride, alas - element everywhere from stem to stern. The texture is perfect, to end on a positive.

It's a good/enjoyable wine, but I probably wouldn't pay more than $60 for this bottle. A little light on the palate for anything over that price point, but the acidity is decent.

It's ok, and the bottle was emptied (even preferred by some) by end of night. That said, it's not as balanced and fresh as I prefer: maybe more chalk and mineral and a touch less ripe fruit (?). I'm probably in the minority here, so it matters not. Still, glad to have looked at the latest iteration.

Bromley Wine Circle does Northern Rhone - 2nd November 2023 (Beckenham): Nose that takes a few minutes to get going starts with a few drops of grapefruit juice and a little sherbet pip. With some air some hints of sliced Cox apple and later some salted popcorn and a suggestion of toffee wrapper. The palate is very dry and there's a lovely quinine bitterness, dances across the palate and good length too. A find from CPH in Beaune.
