2009 vintage. Golden color. Heavy body (still!!). Unctuous with a corresponding amount of acidity to keep the proceedings in check for the next decade. This ain’t going nowhere. About as far from my “jam” as is possible but still other-worldly. 5.1.24. — 4 months ago
Golden , orange tinged centre , lemon yellow rim . Very aromatic, clementines, orange rind , saffron , creme brûlée , caramel. On the palate rich and intense but with very good balance from fresh acidity . Orange syrup , saffron creme brûlée with a slight burnt caramel touch on the finish . Long and powerful , this is ready but will carry on at this level for another 10-20 years — 4 days ago

Golden with sweet notes of brooches and toast. On the bud, it’s creamy with a slight tartness. — a month ago
This remains one of the greatest white dry wines of France although probably not for everybody. Every year is a surprise and that inconsistency can be off-putting. Golden color, medium weight, quite high in alcohol (14.5) and cloudy. Long burn, apricot, dried raisins, apple and pineapple. — 4 months ago
v19. This is really good! Soft white pepper and cedar nose. Fresh, deep, rich black fruit licorice. Tight, chewy, smooth, long, slightly astringent, dried herbal spice and mocha finish. Nicely balanced. — 7 months ago

Golden in color.
Nose of apples, yeast, spices, bread, minerals, salt water, citrus, limes, barnyard and earth.
Medium plus in body with high acidity.
Very dry on the palate with limes, lemons, green apples, earth, minerals, toast, wet leaves, herbs, vegetables, nuts, yeast, sea salt and white pepper.
Crisp and refreshing. Yeasty and interesting.
This is a nicely aged Champagne from a great vintage. Showing lots of complexity now.
Feels very young for a 20 year old, and will continue to age nicely in the next decade.

I had the Brut Reserve Non Vintage not too long ago, and I liked it better.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with fresh oysters.
A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Disgorged in 2015.
12.5% alcohol by volume.

Perfect golden color. This wine is so amazing and complex I could spend an hour describing it. Super deep, a swirl in your mouth for minutes wine. Long finish that smoothers the palate. Insane juice!! — a month ago
