Magnificent bottle, the color is dark gold. Pastry and a touch of almonds, lots of white fruits, juicy ripe pears in particular that come out also on the delicious palate, fresh, fine and tight bubbles, slightly creamy, vivid acidity and freshness, lots of energy, very good bottle. 93-94
Magnifique Champagne, couleur or prononcée. Un nez de pain brioché, touche d’amandes, beaucoup de fruits blancs, poires mures juteuses en particulier que l’on retrouve au palais aussi. Une bouche magnifique, un peu crémeuse, des bulles fines, serrées et élégantes. Acidité vive,énergie et fraîcheur au rendez-vous pour cette très belle bouteille. 93-94 — a month ago
Low pressure of course. Vinous. — a month ago
Has a harder edge than some of the other petite arvines I have been trying. More minerality, and more oak. But no prominent vanilla and less rounded mouthfeel but still dense. I like it, seems more serious. — 10 days ago
Strawberries. Bit of an overwhelming acid note on opening but that seemed to go away after the first pour. Very easy drinking. — a month ago

Wow - barnyard funk, unfiltered apple cider, crisp deliciousness. Chenin what? Ate with truffle pasta, pretty mind-blowing. — a month ago
Très bon mais j’ai en mémoire d’une plus grande bouteille. Un peu comme le Peters ouvert la veille, le vin a des notes de pomme mais aussi de fleur et de poire. — a month ago
V18 April 2020 disgorgement....nice developed color...tiny pinprick bubbles...still a bit tightly wound. Ripe red apple/pear notes. Ethereal and weightless...with lively bright acidity. Far more complex and nuanced than all the big house NV bubbles. And the texture, taste and finish ramp up as it warms in the glass. Early Christmas quaff with great cheese, olives, and an ass-kicking local sourdough/green olive boule. Merry Christmas and peace on earth! — a month ago
