I thought this was excellent. Plenty of BdB character, with buttercream and sliced pear on the palate. Excellent supportive acidity. This should age well for 5 years.

Disgorged December 2021. This bottle did not wow me nor grab my attention. Distinct bread dough aroma and butter, citrus on the palate with pear and a more gentle, transparent expression that seemed to lack power or intensity. I didn't save the leftovers so maybe I just wasn't feeling it last night but seemed underwhelming.

Lots of effervescence, good energy and balance. Moderate notes of brioche, toasted aromas, and citrus. Richer profile than expected, but marred by overt bitterness on the midpalate and finish. Not very complex or interesting at this stage. Hold.

No disgorgement info on the bottle. Brioche nose, some oxidation, orchard fruit, honey and beeswax. Granny Smith and limestone with a nice tart citrusy finish. Winner!

My first experience with this. I thought it was terrific - not mind-blowing but very good.
