This vintage is too oaky for my taste. Really hoping future vintages aren’t the same. This was such a great semi inexpensive “go to” wine for years. — a month ago

LC17 Fac-Simile is evolving beautifully in bottle with a multidimensional expression of smoky red berry fruit, chalky minerality and sea spray-like salinity with a savory Meunier edge. One of the most distinctive and recognizable Rosé Champagne’s in the biz and growing more elusive by the day. — 10 days ago
