222/5/4 with sushi. L02B02. Lemon, honey, brioche, chalk - everything is here, with a bit more depth and richness than I remember it having 5-10 years ago. For me, this is THE classicist, brut blanc de blancs standard cuvée. It’s so great to have a wine like this reasonably available and reasonably priced. — 16 days ago
Nose is UNHINGED! Pizza spices, bell pepper, pepperchini. VEGETAL. Palette lags behind but still delicious. Light medium body. Tasted blind with Jordan & Packer — a day ago
Still good but I feel like I opened it just in time as the bottle was about to go downhill. Medium gold. First notes are toasty and oxidative citrus. Candied lemon, creme brûlée, slight peanut husk and a hint of Marsala. Carbonation dissipated quickly. Still enjoyable but definitely something wrong with the bottle — 9 days ago
2022/5/18 with weisswurst, Japanese potato salad, etc. The nose has lemon rind and a touch of butter and stone, with nice acidity and savor on the palate. There’s good richness. Definitely a country Macon and a foursquare, with a butter wrist depending on what you’re eating, but a good mouthful. — 2 days ago

I’m having trouble finding anything wrong with these bubbles- they are the perfect combination of yeastiness and sweetness of a cake with an extraordinary butter frosting, and a fruit compote on the side. Serious structure, and a little bitterness creeping in only at the finish. — 6 days ago
