Popped and poured; no formal notes. Star-bright, straw color. Loads of brioche with pears, raspberries and marzipan. Good balance of fruit and acid. More interesting than the “Tradition” IMO. 100% Pinot Noir. No disgorgement data. — a month ago

From a half-bottle and, unfortunately, served in flutes. This is technically a Blanc de Noirs with 70% Pinot Noir and the balance Pinot Meunier. A fresh breeze of a wine. On the nose there are apples, pink flowers, wet stone, and lemon. On the palate, ripe apples, golden raspberries, brioche and minerals. Medium acid. A bit more on the round side of the spectrum. I wish the acid was a bit higher…but that’s personal preference. No disgorgement data on the bottle. — a month ago

This bottle was provided by a friend at a recent outdoor social gathering. A very unusual blend of 40% Pinot Blanc, 35% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier and 10% Chardonnay. In fact, I can’t recall ever having a champagne that was blended with more than three of the seven permissible varieties. I wish I had more time to spend with this wine but the setting wasn’t very conducive to a thorough analysis. That being said, I took some brief notes. Popped and poured; consumed under an hour. A pleasant mix of pear, lemon, citrus blossom with chalky minerals. The finish was round and quite saline…and rather delightful! Almost quaffable. This wine had a texture that sort of played with my ability to accurately judge the acidity but I settled on medium+…but I think the acid is pretty sneaky. The finish was long and satisfying. Probably my favorite bottle from Philipe Fontaine to date. No disgorgment date stated on the label. — 12 days ago
