An Outstanding Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2016 vintage champagne from Mailly in Reims. Zesty and zingy and compelling acidly, super balanced, slightly but beautifully yeasty. Potentially to age another +10 years. Fine bubbles and very elegant and crazy smooth. — 3 months ago
Pretty salmon in color.
Fresh on the nose and medium in body with medium plus acidity.
Showing sweet raspberries, cherries, spices and light earth.
Dry on the palate with an elegant finish.
Rich and fresh. Nicely balanced with nice complexity. Fruit forward and elegant. Spicy and entertaining. Interesting stuff.
I liked it much better than the 2022 vintage.
A blend of 40% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache and 30% Cinsault. Organic and Biodynamic.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

On the nose, chiseled, saline notes that provide backbone and vibrancy. Pears, white flowers and slate flow through to the chiseled finish. — a month ago
Opened about 30 minutes prior to dinner but no decant. Served slightly chilled. The 2016 “Blanche” pours a deep straw color with medium viscosity. Developing with notes of ripe stone fruit, tropical fruit, nutmeg, white pepper, minerals and cotton candy. On the palate, the wine is dry with lower acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. This is a wine of impeccable texture to match the king crab legs with dinner. Drink now through 2031. — 4 months ago

Pale lemon in color.
Nose with citrus, herbs and spices.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing apples, lemons, spices and herbs.
Medium finish with limes and almonds.
Still young and needs a couple of years to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Easy drinking and a good food wine.
A blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Clairette and 20% Roussanne.
