Beautiful on the nose. Lots of aroma. Floral tones. Very good. — 2 months ago
Dark red fruit, oxidative notes, stewed fruit, plum, pencil lead, cola, molasses, and ripe black fruit. Medium plus body, high tannins, high alcohol, high acid, and long finish. Drink now with all the tertiary stuff going on, which surprises me given the vintage is only 5 years old. — 4 months ago
Disg. 2/14…Always my favorite of the Lieux-Dits and without question one of the very best Blanc de Blancs Champagnes on the planet, it’s particularly special to have with some bottle age. It’s stunning today, rich and powerful with crazy depth to its layers with a deep, complex core of caramelized orchard fruit, roasted nuts, old rum barrels and candied white flowers, all seamlessly integrated. The palate is generous and detailed, with racy acids, waves of saline laced, chalky Le Mesnil minerals and a finish that stays with you. A BdB benchmark for my tastes. — 3 months ago
Medium ruby , wide pink rim . Touch of wood spice then strawberry compote , raspberry and red cherry . On the palate the ripe red fruits present on the nose , with good balance and balanced acidity . Rounded tannins , balanced alcohol . Very juicy, a crowd pleaser really , also young still , more complexity may come with time. Better in 3-5 years and will last well a further 10. — 5 months ago
