Boom. . Huge nose - tobacco. A touch of cinnamon and dried rose petals Well integrated tanks. Drinking well now Nice full and well rounded mouthfeel and a medium long finish. — 3 years ago

Casually browsing the champs list, not expecting anything then BOOM 07’ GC SC for $120 - YES SOLD. What a bottle. Savory tropical fruit bursting out, papaya and mango, then rice pudding, then straight up salted Brittany Caramel - what a spectacular nose, after 130ish bottles of Champagne, it’s like nothing I’ve had, honestly. Balanced acidity keeps the caramel and salt notes alive and the finish is graceful and long. Can’t wait to return to this lovely producer. I have to believe that I got a great bottle, like anything, I would expect a degree of bottle variation. Luck of the draw! — 7 years ago

Boom goes the dynamite. A rather exquisite treat to accompany some automotive repair :/ champagne makes it all better. Probably the best 05 I've yet had, still not 04 st chamant though — 8 years ago

Boom. Huge and muscular. WS says past it’s window - but not to me! Nose of blackberry and slight secondary herbal notes Polished and smooth - with a huge Cali Cab sweetness but not overdone. Excellent way to end the year. !! — 4 years ago

Last of my cellars club high quality shipments, end of an era. Really going to miss wines like this one. 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir. Drank the whole bottle in one sitting with a bag of Boom Chicka Pop because that was the best tip I’ve received in the caves. — 5 years ago
