Unique almost orange hue upon decanting. A great deal of clay on the nose. — a month ago

Syrupy, with a fair amount of yeast. The champagne is somewhat reminiscent of the “James Bond” Bollinger I had recently. The wine was an excellent accompaniment to foie gras and caviar. — 2 months ago

The name’s Ball... Jeff Ball and I found this champagne to have quite a bit of yeast and some caramel on the nose and palate. It was surprisingly syrupy as well. — 3 months ago

This vintage had more minerality than one might expect; a perfect accompaniment to cheese fondue nonetheless. Typical long finish and syrupy texture, with a bit of nutmeg and lemon on the nose. — 2 months ago
