The 3rd and final bottle of the 11’ vintage (a underestimated vintage IMO), and it keeps getting better. The slight green note from the previous 2 bottles is no longer present. At a great place now. While it does not have the usual richness and power, it’s impeccably balanced, fresh, seamless, and graceful, which is preferable to me.
And I can’t thinking of a better bottle to pair with Pekin duck.
Almost perfect!

Delicious CDP. Paired as well with duck as with scallops in a buerre blanc sauce. — 5 years ago
9-10 with friends over a great dinner of duck and prune gnocchi. — 3 years ago
Definitely on the sweeter side. Could be too sweet depending on the person. Would by again from Duck Walk — 4 years ago
Wow so good! Natural sparkling rosé with lotttsss of sediment. Juicy orange character makes this very drinkable. I love how inventive Portuguese wines are lately. — 3 years ago
Delicious! Jammy, not overly acidic — 4 years ago
Strong minerality, mild fruitiness — 5 years ago
Very typical warm vintage Rhone, slightly lower acidity than usual. Despite the half bottle, it got better as the lunch with duck went along — 5 years ago
