Blackberry, chocolate and spicy aromas. Medium tannins and juicy. Went nicely with a hamburger blended with mild jalapeño and cheese. I would get this wine again. — 20 days ago

9.1

The 2015 vintage kicked out 1852 as the hottest vintage in Champagne until 2018 came along. This is mostly Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Meunier. No dosage.

Leads with cherries that have a liqueur quality. Very ripe, juicy & strawberries, some black raspberries, blood orange, guava, very, thick, almost foamy mousse, limestone & chalk powder, some white pepper, only hues of sea fossils, light sea spray, white spice with heat as it sets, red & pink roses with a touch of spring flowers, excellent, soft acidity, softly woven & structured, well balanced and a subtle polished finish that lasts over a minute.

Révélation Extra Brut Blanc de Meunier 2014

9.4

Small grower production…only 900 bottles. All fermented in neutral oak. You sense that as soon as you smell it and definitely on the palate. Slightly bruised pear and apple, apple cider, ginger ale, malt, older mixed citrus-grapefruit dominate, bread dough, yeastiness, crumbled chalk & limestone, sea fossils, saline, mixed withering lilies, round acidity, excellent structure, balance, tension, length and nicely not over polished finish that last minutes and lands on beautiful minerality. As good as it is today, room for improvement going forward. Hold at least three years. @ K&L Champagne tasting. — 5 months ago

Lovely pale sunset color. Sparse bubbles. Smells like sunshine on clean concrete. Tastes like lime and chalk. Dry. Smooth aftertaste. 100% Cabernet Franc and a Costco bargain. — a month ago
