  My first Couche Sensation Extra Dry, and I do like this style very much. Vibrant bubbles, the wine had personality, and was impressive, right away but with air, and after warming up, it became outstanding. It has prominent aromas and flavors of bread crust, brioche, and cashews and a lovely acid tension, with a long nutty finish. Drink to 2027 ?

  From Methuselah offered by US importer, consumed at Restaurant Xavier Mathieu in Provence. Spectacular. Prominent crust flavor from toast. Creamy. Real evolution as we drank through the bottle.

  Method: pop and pour; fridge temp to start; Glasvin Champagne glass
  
  Look: pale copper/amber; many vigorous bubbles
  
  Nose: floured bread crust, almond, chalk, light raw white mushroom
  
  Palate: apple pie crust, yellow apple, pear; medium+ finish of almond and chalk; dry; medium amount of superfine bubbles; medium acidity; low- chalky tannin
  
  Overall thoughts: The bubbles are wonderful and there are some nice yeasty notes, but otherwise the flavor isn't anything special, there wasn't much complexity, and nothing else especially stood out. Definitely much worse than the other bottles of had of this wine. This bottle was an outlier compared to the 3 others I've tasted of this. Hard to know if it's due to a bit more age, bottle variation, this being the only bottle I didn't acquire on release, or if my palate was a bit off. Still, it's got enough going on to be a pretty great wine.
