Hits all the notes of BdB. Med plus acid and finish. Delicate notes of brioche and citrus. Tasted from 375. — 6 months ago

One of the best entry level BdB anywhere. With some years of bottle age, this ‘13 shows great.
Clean and expressive on the nose. The ever so slightly oxidative notes is lovely. Vigorous fine mousse. Palate is crisp with a round edge.

Nice BdB, pale lemon color with aromas of citrus, floral and biscuit notes, fine bubbles and light mousse. On the palate flavors of crisp apples, pears and lemon zest with notes of warm bread and savory mineral. Long complex ending with fruit and toasty warm biscuit character. Very nice! — 4 years ago

Pure pleasure - rapacious opening revealing a creamy core buttressed with ample mousse, acidity. Bread, lemon curd, and just enough RS. Perhaps the best NV BdB we’ve had in recent memory. Love the recherché label, floral pattern straight from your auntie’s tea cozy—please never change. (Extra point for QPR) — 4 years ago

I wish I could have had two more glasses of this laser like focus of citrusy pillowy brioche bread, excellent BdB from your favorite @Scott Petrus — 7 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The Harmonie pours a bright straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with lovely notes of yellow apple, white flowers, star fruit, lemon curd, limestone and chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. This is a delicious BdB from the Côte de Bar that gives Chablis vibes (if Chablis had bubbles of course). Drink now through 2035. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass

An impeccably balanced Extra Brut BdB showing a lovely combination of bright fruit and autolytic notes. This was a wonderful accompaniment to our sunny afternoon in Södermalm. — 4 years ago

Always a favorite BdB. Glad to have snagged the last bottle from the great Marta Champagne list. The illustrious Le Mesnil produces what is likely the best expressions of Chardonnay in Champagne. The 2010 shows a bit more age than the 2009 I had recently, (therefore more ready to drink too), but it’s still very fresh and vibrant and in a terrific place showing great appeal, charm and rounded flavors. Zalto Bordeaux was the perfect vessel. — 5 years ago

2021 is seemingly turning into the year of Champagne for me and I gotta say, I could get used to this. Lilbert et Fils BdB GC NV comes in a rather unassuming package but more than makes up for it in substance. The nose is distinctive with aromas of slightly under ripe Taleggio and apples. On the palate, apples and citrus with lovely, persistent acid. Don’t sleep on this. — 5 years ago

Disg. 2/14 (07 base)…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 absolutely as stunning as hoped—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 with seamless integration. The palate is generous and detailed, with racy acids, waves of saline laced, chalky Le Mesnil minerals and a finish that just stays with you. A BdB benchmark, legendary bubbles. — 9 months ago

Killer BdB. Intense acid, lemon curd, and some awesome sea aromas (not salinity). Would love to revisit in 8 years — 4 years ago

Love the combination of ‘09 richness and non-dosage / BdB lightness. Brilliant champagne. Green apple, lemon curd, apricot, a little biscuit dough and chalk — 5 years ago

Lovely wine wrong but unfair to drink a BdB at that stage. Quite young, needs years to delineate. — 6 years ago

Excellent BdB. Acid on acid on acid on acid. This drinks like laser beams. Lemon and Granny Smith apple with just a slight bit of toasted brioche on the finish. Still pretty austere at this stage—I feel like a few years in the cellar would make this even more interesting. 2015 base. Disgorged November 2018. — 7 years ago
