This bottle showed well at the start, but then that big soft 2015 fruit moved out in front. It's rather loose at the moment for my preferences, and lacks the energy and complexity I'd like to see in Les Barres. Overall good but not great - I'll will give this 2-3 years to shed more of the upfront soft fruit and hopefully show some bones.

Disgorged Jul-19. An very interesting BdN. Complex, intense, balanced and structural. Love to see how will it age but too bad it's my last bottle. Great QPR.

Champagnes at Quan Xiang Yuan: Very true to Chartogne-Taillet's style so it wasn’t difficult to guess this. Round and slightly oxidative, red-fruited strawberry notes typical of Pinot Noir-dominant champagnes. Always love the balance between the richness and acid from this producer.

Red berries and red apple. Nicely balanced and gentle mousse on the palate. Maybe not the most complex but a good bottle of champagne.
