  • This was everything I had hoped for to go with Thanksgiving dinner, making up for the first one being corked back in May. Beautiful in the glass, seductive aroma, a delicious melange in the mouth with no rough edges, and a long, complex finish. Fantastic wine for a very fair price.
    5+13+17+9= 94

  • Medium gold color, average mousse with long persistence. Bone dry on the palate with a complex melange of flavors. Profound bouquet with all the nice elements mentioned by other reviewers here already but, unfortunately, one of them is also an occasional wispy scent of TCA/wet cardboard. Otherwise, 94pts +

  • -- tasted non-blind over 3 hours --
    -- 100% Pinot Noir --
    -- No dosage --
    -- Dec. 2017 disgorgement --

    NOSE: initially, this showed a medium-light apple note, set against a light yeasty/bready backdrop; with air (about 90 minutes) the aromatics fleshed-out, revealing some pleasant red berry aromas.

    BODY: yellow-orange color; medium-light bodied; bead dissipated quite quickly, as it was nearly gone only 20 minutes after uncorking.

    TASTE: excellent acidity; lovely minerals; some pleasant red berry qualities started to emerge during its initial warm-up from fridge temperature; elevagé in tank; incredible richness of fruit flavor considering this is a no dosage Champagne; tiny hint of leather after 2 hours open; no sulfur on this bottling, and it didn't seem to suffer in any way. I like this a lot. Gut impression score: 91 – 92.
