The first edition of Jardin d'Ulysse, based on the 2015 vintage and disgorged in 2021 has aged beautifully in bottle. It’s really picked up intensity and generosity since it was first released. It definitely needs air, in fact, I’d have it open an hour or so in advance. It’s a taut, racy rendition with a stunningly silky texture while simultaneously rich with just the slightest oxidative complexity that’s beginning to build and only adding to its attraction. Its floral, spice and citrus inflicted aromatics are layered between its chalky mineral core and the palate is chiseled, full bodied, satiny and concentrated, with structure built to age. It’s only going to get better. Love these wines 🙌🏻 — 6 months ago

Not unlike a funkier Collin Pierrieres, it took time to grow on me. — 12 days ago

2003-2020 perpetual reserve. 82 meunièr/18 Pinot noir. 2.5g/l dosage. Disgorged June 2022.

I absolutely adore the L’Or d’Eugene Perpetuelle non-rosé. This bottle is my first experience with the rosé version. Big fan of this grower champagne producer.

As typical for Mousse Fils, this champagne is mostly meunièr. Very apparent with the fruit forward and gummy (like fruit snacks) red fruit profile. Black cherry and strawberry cream. On the palate, this trends toward a more herbal strawberry, mint, even some red licorice. Not really oxidative or reductive. No autolytic/aged type notes I’d expect with a perpetual reserve type champagne. Color wise it’s close to the Ulysse Collin rosé but not as powerful, definitely in the saignée style. I’d pair this with seafood as opposed to more savory food. Fun.

This is grower champagne to the core. I like the non-rosé version a bit more due to the perpetual reserve profile, but this is tasty for sure. Not sure it gets better, just different (unlike the non-rosé version). — 5 months ago

The 48 month new unicorn wine. Caramelized and slightly oxidized but engaging and deep. Not as fine as the Prevost but a treat. Seemed young. — 8 months ago

Love this vintage for what’s normally a rich, dense and powerful style that almost takes you to Burgundy. The 2017 rendition after 36 months on the lees is particularly elegant, satiny and detailed, layered with blood orange, red flowers and spice inflicted aromatics with a chalky mineral core. The full bodied and textural palate offers tremendous fruit density, balance and purity with a lingering finale. Love the whole lineup from Ulysse Collin. — 3 months ago

Inaugural release from Pauline, Raphaël Bérèche’s wife. Made of old-vine Pinot Noir from her own family’s estate. 48 months on lees and with a dosage of 3.5 g/l. Scarce as hen’s teeth with a mere 1996 bottles produced. Delicious, though I did find it a tad simple (and primary). Heaps of green apples and citrus fruits. Tasted almost like Zapple for those in the know. Air did coax out the more mineralic elements, along with hints of nuttiness and toast. Good energy. A lovely first release and definitely one to follow. — 9 months ago
