it must be the combo of P-J vinification and 08 fruit but it’s a fabulous quaff with pure beautiful Chardonnay fruit—lots of adjectives to throw at it but the finesse and structure made it a drink punching above its price point and well worth cellaring. I am impressed. Bought it when visiting in Champagne at the house. And bought more today before posting this. — 9 days ago

The 2010 Launois Special Club just landed. Drinks better young than their fantastic 2008 but, will still last a generation.

Nice, subtle, mousse mouthfeel, green apple, white citrus, gentle minerality, seashells, spring flowers, round acidity and great finish as always. Paired with triple cream cheese & warm Focaccia rounds with garlic and cheese for starters. — 6 hours ago

Another visit to the weekly Wednesday Wine Committee, and a wonderful hosting by Glenn. As always, all wines are tasted blind. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert.

Never heard of this producer and the clear bottle threw me off, though I did guess non vintage champagne. There was a lot of green Apple tart and chalky limestone. Very little yeast. Got more savory as it opened. Really enjoyed it. — 11 days ago

Served blind and thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely clean lines with tasty, mineral laden Chardonnay fruit peeking through the chalk. 20+ years on lees and with a long life ahead - 1995 — 3 days ago

Pale light yellow gold. Lively constant tiny bubbles. Deep round nose with high pitched fruit. Notes of pear, grapefruit, chalk and limestone. With more air you find some citrus and honeysuckle. Chewy in the mouth with great mouthfeel. Coats the entire mouth. Long finish lingers a minute or more. Velvet. Killer juice. Was inspired to open one of these after seeing a friend’s TN this weekend. Glad I did. — a day ago

17.5/20 (94/100) Насыщенный аромат с нотами хлебной корочки, мороженого пломбир, спелых яблок и абрикосов, лесных орехов. Тельное с довольно высокой кислотностью. Во вкусе проявляются тона пчелиного воска и мёда. Великолепно! — 2 days ago

Drank 12/7/18. Champagne event. Tasting pour.

Nose of yeast, Carmel, and green apple, reminiscent of a vintage champagne. Bright, green apple, brioche, and mineral. Well balanced with minerality on the finish.
