A real treat of a wine, deliciousness in a bottle. An intense copper, pink color with small bubbles. An intoxicating nose of black cherries, wild strawberries, and smoke. There’s a very nice mix of fresh herbs and spices here, as well. Shrubbery and floral accents.
Mostly Pinot Noir from Vertus along with 10% Pinot Gris, made in the Saignée style. Thrilling and quite vinous with enough of that customary Larmandier-Bernier raciness and tension. Such a beautiful mouthfeel and so incredibly fresh. A fine attack with zippy acidity and impressive length.
Plenty of fruit on the palate but never descending into a fruit bomb. Just a touch of biscuits with more smoke and more pronounced earthiness. Truly, a splendid wine. One I could drink everyday but it’s so much better shared.

Rich ripe yellow apple on the nose and palate, pleasantly creamy but not oaky, some good balanced lemon acid and lingering minerals. — 6 months ago
Perfumey for a Sancerre. — 3 years ago
Minerality throughout with a hint of citrus and cucumber. — 9 months ago
Darker salmon coloration. On the nose, strawberry, apple and pear. On the palate, tight bubbles, and the palate seems to mirror the nose. The finish is extraordinarily long and pleasant with the strawberry, apple, pear and minerality. Very crisp. — 2 years ago

Great wine. Definitely worth trying again but I felt this was a bit one dimensional. A lot of pear, white fruit and slight apple, brioche and with slight acidity and but didn't change much after. I tried in 2025 so its 17 years old so maybe its past its peak or its waning but its my first wine of this age so maybe i need to try more. Either way, it's a delicious wine — 24 days ago
