This needed a little time to decant and open up. Plum, tobacco, vanilla, and raisins on the nose. A tasty balance of dark berry fruit, oak, and graphite on the palate. Screams a need for savory food and answers that call with aplomb. Drink now as this is on the way down, but delightful now. — 9 days ago
Nose is intensely mineral. Some herbs, some confectionary, some spice. Not much if any fruit. Nice aromatic depth and some decent complexity. Great clarity. Terrific palate. Lots of acidity and jagged minerality. Very pure. A small hint of creaminess. Very mineral and also almost no fruit. Very geeky. Love it. — a month ago
Gorgeous floral scents and white orchard fruit, the nose keeps giving with air and keeps opening up. A palate with so much class, finesse and elegance, fine and fresh, pure fruit, with a nicely balanced acidity, great length for this superb complete and classy wine.
Nez floral et de fruits blancs entre autres, un nez qui ne cesse de se complexifier et s’épanouir. Une bouche avec beaucoup de classe, finesse et élégance, un fruité très pur, délicieux sur une acidité bien dosée, quelle longueur, superbe vin complet d’une grande classe. 93-94

Bouquin-Dupont Vieille Reserve Extra Brut Grand Cru Champagne: Vibrant. Profound. Exhilarating. Comprised of 100% Chardonnay grapes and aged for an impressive 7 years sur lie (many of the world’s top Grand Cru Champagnes age for a similar length of time on the lees) this champagne displays rich & focused flavors and aromas. White peach, apricot, lime peel & kumquat to name a few. Overall, there’s an elegant intensity like no other in recent memory that I recall hence making this grand cru stunningly spot on. This is my kind of champagne! Cheers 🍾 — 9 days ago
Ottimo. 11 anni ben portati. 2009 vintage — a day ago
I believe I mentioned it before but this is such a great wine. This is like a good glass of Meursault. Full bodied and rich. Pairing so nice with ham, salcicio or figues.
Last year I had the chance to drink a 2005 and that was sublime. Here is fruit, wood, acidity coming afterwards. — a month ago

Phenomenal. Tasting just the way a 10yr old cider should; complex and rich with a shocking amount of apple character. — 24 days ago
