Silver Brut Nature Champagne
bone-dry finish mellowed by the ripe-apricot character, plus hints of toast and melted butter. — 6 months ago

Rosé No.3 Brut Champagne Blend
The only Champagne in their flight. First time having this producer.
It has gentle, micro bubbles. Soft mousse. Again, a touch sweet. At least for me. Seems more than 9g. It is interesting to me that with all of France’s rather strict wines laws, I have seen extra brut over 6g & brut over 9g.
Full cherries to kirsch quality, strawberries, pomegranate and raspberries. Gentle dry herbal notes, moist, crumbled chalk & limestone, yeast notes, some white spice, sea fossil/spray, crumbled grey volcanics, pink & red roses, pleasant round acidity, nicely polished finish that is more fruit than earth as it sets and lasts 45 seconds to a minute. — 8 months ago

Chalky Brut Champagne Chardonnay
Good! Chalky as promised! Lots of mousse and accompanying heft. Not a lot of that breast yeasty thing though… — 7 months ago

Fantastic, intense nose of dark fruit, granite, iron, meat with an insane floral lift of dried apricot which I’m assuming is the viognier. Palate with good acid, typical northern Rhone Syrah profile of meat, lavender, granitic bite. A lot going on; tannins are not that evident after a 1.5 hr decant. A wine with a ton of character. @Lyle Fass @Delectable Wine this is cote-rotie “gerine” — 12 days ago
