@Delectable Wine this the Vincent Couche Bourgogne. Just a really nice wine. Balanced acidity — a year ago
This is magnificent. Nose is dried cherries, some lemon curd, stone fruit, a bit of bread. Interestingly the palate is very lively for 22 years. A bunch of bubbles, tastes of fresh cherry, flowers maybe even jasmine, oyster shell, I get a burnt meringue quality vs. bread. It’s evolving. — 3 years ago
Mineral focused of chalk wrapped in yellow apple and leesy — 5 years ago
19 years on the lees and time shows. Very very fine mousse, I’m not a texture guy for champagne but this one’s got it. Leesy notes of puff pastry and marzipan, a mix of oxidation and citrus on the nose. Palate is leaner than the nose suggests, but with enough focus from the still vibrant acidity. A cool experiment on great authentic character, good structure, but perhaps without the finesse of a tete de cuvée. At $159 hard to tell if it’s good value — 4 months ago
8 years on the yeast. Gorgeous, full, and generous. — a year ago
Nez de pommes, brioche et patisserie mais en finesse et modération tout la bouche avec des bulles assez fines et une belle fraîcheur, très bien pour le prix. 90-91
Nose of apples, pastry and brioche but with finesse and moderation just like the nice soft yet delicious palate, nice tight bubbles and good crisp acidity, great for the price. — 3 years ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. This is Vincent Couche’s multi-vintage cuvée, made in the traditional Champagne method but uses Pinot Noir from Molesme and Chardonnay from 1er-cru Chablis. It’s aged in a combination of amphora and oak. As you might expect, this is bright and laser cut with lemon and lime citrus. Loads of minerals. Great acid. Nerdy and makes for a great aperitif. — 2 months ago
