Bright apple, citrus, chalk. Big bubbles, perfect for Julien Sorel cocktails! — a year ago
A little too much oxidation sadly — 16 days ago

‘19 disgorge — 9 months ago
This is a cuvée Costco brought in. Seems their availability to the same cuvées they used to bring in are simply MIA for some time…since champagne went up. Apparently, the price of fruit has risen quite a bit according to what the houses would say. It is a decent cuvée for the price point, $28.99.
This Blanc de Blanc shows some neutral wood use as it has hints of being oxidative in style. Bruised green & golden apple, lime zest, bruised pear, pineapple juice, squeezed lemon, kiwi, hints of white peach, white spice-ginger, mid grainy chalkiness, limestone marl, sea fossils & spray, baguette crust, some bread dough, decent acidity & o2 bubbles (especially since I had this stored for a few days sealed), jasmine, white & yellow lilies, good, yet un-dynamic finish that goes from juicy fruits to mineral spiciness. — 2 years ago
A small portion of Pinot Noir (which makes up approximately 80% of the blend) still wine is added for color; the balance is Chardonnay. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The Grand Rosé pours a pretty pink color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of raspberry, red apple, a mix of orchard citrus fruit, marzipan, a hint of brioche and lovely minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and round. Very easy to like. Drink now. Disgorged February of 2025. — a month ago

Sweetness trumping most finish notes. Cider-y in the best way. — 8 months ago
Very young. Still somewhat unstructured and tannins that need to mellow. But good potential. — 2 years ago
