I was unaware of this cuvée. This is only the 10th time it’s been released since its inauguration in 1982. Lots going on. Upon pouring, the bubbles disappeared quickly. A powerful nose of strawberry, cherries and florals yet I do not feel this was fully open.
In the mouth citrus like acidity. Builds in the mouth but in a restrained way. Very vinous. Creamy texture with layers of red fruit, toast and spice vacationing in your mouth. Deceptively elegant texture . — 3 months ago
Incredible mineral and salinity . Bright fruits pretty approachable possible due to being shipped in freezing temps and the corks hot pushed out 1/2 way . Gave me a reason to drink it . — 3 months ago

Really pretty red fruit. Nice acidity. Quite lacked tannins, ripe or otherwise. Polished and v drinkable. Maybe not long aging potential but fine by me. — a month ago

Nose: white flowers. Remnants of honey.
Palate: elegantly rich. A kiss of honey. Mineral. Great balancing acidity. Delicious.
A 9.3. But an amazing 9.3.
