Saturday hangout (socially distanced) (Chicago, IL): A very interesting champagne, with five years on lees, and dosed with local honey. I think all of those elements are certainly apparent here; the palate is fairly rich and yeasty, and there's a distinct perfumed floral tone that you certainly wouldn't find in other champagnes. That said, it comes off more as a curiosity than a bottle of champagne I'd want to seek out and put in my cellar. Very fun to try nonetheless.

Going to be sad when these are gone. Amazing what the honey brings to the table. Lovely floral notes and great length to this. A real treat.

Not overly complex but solid and enjoyable at this price.

Fine but not really note worthy. Middle of the road in terms of nose/body, a slightly metallic finish that felt a little off.
