End of year celebration: Quite lean but balanced with ripe red fruit that led me to think this was a Pinot-dominant wine. Haven't had much of this producer but thought this was very good.

A night with neighborhood friends: Last wine of the evening. I've liked this cuvée quite a bit lately. Great complexity here. More on the mature or oxidative side. Really dense, but the lower dosage and acidity keeps it fresh. Clearly a BdB, with pear, quince jelly, pastry notes. Under-priced, IMO.

I love this champs. This is what I look for in champagne. Hazelnuts, pastry, apples (not bruised, just ripe), wonderful acidity, vinous. It's great as an aperitif or with food. Again, as I mostly do, I shucked some oysters that just went great with this baby. Price is also not bad!

Yeasty and bready on the nose, touch of white flowers. On the palate, it’s elegant and refined, screeching acidity and chalky finish.

La Fête du Champagne Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty - New York NY): Walkaround tasting. Good richness in a somewhat oxidative style that doesn't thrill me. 50% from 2018 base, 50% from the solera that goes back to 2006.
