Vintage Brut Champagne Blend 2015

Wow - this threw me off on initial taste - my novice palate assumed this had seen oak - but with a little more space and time with a fresh bottle suggested something with a little more brightness and citrus on the nose balanced with richness that never approached flabby. Day 2 gave me something like a Mosel Riesling Spätlese nose of citrus rind and oil matched on the palate by some viscosity. I almost sensed some Chenin Blanc beeswaxy essence and texture with honeyed floral notes. Mineral backbone, enough acid to carry its ripeness, and perhaps my only wish was a little more bubble to give some lift. I love acid but this was a joy to taste through! — 3 months ago

Cuvée 1809 Extra Brut Champagne Blend

Finished the night w/ a glass of the Cuvée 1809. My friend received it in her Somm Selection Club from K&L Wine Merchants.

Normally, I am a little skeptical of having others select my bottles, but this lived up to the bill.

It is a very nice & well made bottle. Good balance, nice mousse and an well polished finish.

A pleasant surprise, albeit showing a hint of maturity on the palate.
Nose displays strawberries with a wisp of mushrooms. Palate is bold and vigorous. This all about energy power. Overall, excellent. I just caught this in its old man phase. Certainly, a producer to watch.
Mo wasn’t feeling it, but I have assumed editorial liberties (and it came from our cellar).
