  Oh yes, a lovely blanc de blancs. Drank from a Zalto burgundy glass, as recommended from the producer. Perfect acidity for an extra brut, probably due to the malolactic fermentation. Pear and citrus on the nose and palate. Great mouthfeel. Drank during the Oscars. I need more of this wine

  This one needed a lot of time in the glass, and honestly was way better day 2. Was quite overwhelming initially. I love the size and opulence of Lassaigne's wine in general, and on the Vignes de Mongueux it strikes the right balance from the first whiff - whereas on the Le Cotet it was initially a bit much. Making it slightly difficult to love immediately. BUT, with time in the glass - woah - what a wine! The wine found its feel, kept the amazing opulence but countered with with freshness and elegance. I can see why Mr. Lassaigne recommends to drink his wines from Burgundy glasses. They really do need the space to unfold. Top wine!

  I absolutely loved this champagne. Not sure the dosage, probably higher than my usual sweet spot but this was drinking so nicely, citrus balanced with pear. A touch sweet but honestly not overly so.

  Very nice bottle we opened to celebrate the (near) completion or our kitchen remodel, this one is in my wheelhouse. Medium plus body, round, mouth filling, apple, pear, almond paste. Big, persistent mousse.

  Base 2018, DG23, I was told by the merchant. Youthful and foamy. took a while to open up and even better on day two. I recommend to decant this in a carafe if you open the 2023 release. Precise palate with citrus, pear, good mouth feel, sappy low dosage finish, very precise, delineated and long, no sugar/brioche kick whatsoever. More Puligny than classic Brut Champagne. For the purists. Would need to add a little more complexity for a higher score though. May be a bit of bottle age could help but unfortunately there is no disgorgement date or back label on the bottle for this, something every non mass-market Cuvée should have.
