I had this one back in July.

The bottle notes differently, not entirely but very different.

The entry is Braeburn apple cider, bruised Bosc pear, raspberries, white and some red cherries, marmalade fruit bits, white citrus blend with pith, soft, melted caramel, vanillin, graham cracker.crust, just a touch of yeast, mildly bitty volcanic minerals, saline, edgy textured chalky bits, sea fossils, limestone marl, dry river stone, white spice-ginger, specs of nutmeg, funeral flowers lilies, white spring flowers mixed in greens, very lively acidity w/ grand precision, the elegant finish is very well balanced, nicely toned, mid structured, smartly polished finish that lasts nearly two-minutes and long sets on spice, volcanics and pumpkin pie made with clove.

1/3 of each; of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, Sourced from, Trigny, Massif de Saint-Thierry-sandier soils near the Petite Montagne, vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks, aged 36 months on the lees, dosage 1-2 grams👌and ABV 12.5%.

Second pour of Gamay and it doesn’t disappoint, fresh fruit, velvety tannins, and great balance. This wine has nice fresh red fruit, spices and a bit black pepper and a delight!! Enjoying with chicken and pasta dish, perfect pair!! — 7 months ago

Nice bottle, good sale price (40 for 10off). Almost too acidic by the end of the bottle. :( — 2 months ago

An explosion of apricot flavor. Round and smooth, heavy weight, with sufficient but not overt acidity. A beautiful sweet wine. — 3 months ago

Anyone who thinks Bojo does not age never tasted this wine. Beautiful aromas of dried black cherry, cranberry and smoke. My palate was assaulted with flavors of black & red cherries, cinnamon, spice and minerals. Plenty of acid despite the warm year. So obvious it was made by a Burgundy producer. A perfect cork helps. — 6 months ago

Dusty patina (like walking through a Japanese temple) pomegranate and cranberry. Mixed white and black peppercorns. Uplifting acid (in a good way) that super complements food. TBL — 4 years ago

We thought this would give the Comtes a run for its money, it did not. Same year and we were all disappointed. Was it the year? The bottle? Something else? Something muffled the incredible flavor profile of this champagne - trying it again 2 hours later it was better, but still a far cry from the Comtes. We’ll have to try that again soon to determine whether we just had an off bottle — 2 months ago

Still going strong, slightly muted, but very impressive dark bramble bit of Troy integrated tannins brought the best out in my seared T-bone steak — 3 months ago
