One of the better champagnes I’ve had in a while and I don’t usually like champagnes. — 2 months ago
There are very few moments in my time that have had a greater call for Champagne than when I opened this, on June 3rd 2025. My football team here in the UK, Oldham Athletic, promoted for the first time in my life, which I watched at Wembley. I know this seems quite trivial and meaningless to most of you, but I must document it here, so please indulge me. Up the Latics!
As for the wine, this was a hasty cellar pull and I didn’t want anything OTT. But isn’t Taittinger fantastic? For me, one of the best Grandes Marques pound-for-pound. This bottle had a bit of age too. Really superb, drinkable stuff. — 15 days ago

Nearly perfect Champagne for birthday dinner at DeuxAve, Boston 2025 — a month ago
Pale lemon color with medium+ intensity aromas of floral, ripe stone and citrus fruits with earthy herb notes. On the palate flavors of ripe peach, apple, lemon citrus, apricot, melon with wet stone mineral. Vivid acidity with great mouthfeel on medium+ dry mineral finish. Can age a bit but is very good now for optimal freshness. — 2 months ago

Light peach in color.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing limes, green apples, herbs, earth, yeast, brioche, light strawberries, spices, minerals and white pepper.
Nice finish, elegant and easy drinking.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with fried shrimp and calamari.
