Cuvée Orpale Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay 2004
Mateo Sarah Anne visit and he’s a foodie and vino lover especially Champagne. Wow! A Blanc de Blanc with clean complex white floral nose laced just so with yeasty profile but not in your face like B-S. Dances on the palate and super long evolving finish. Yum! Terrific with the Asian style scallops appetizer — 3 years ago

Face B Pif Paf Blanquette de Limoux Mauzac Chenin Blanc
Summery feeling Blanquette built on 90% Mauzac, 10% Chenin Blanc from 25 year old vines in Calce (Roussillon). There isnt an enormous amount of depth here, but the flavors are excellent. Honeycrisp apples, honeysuckle, freshly mown grass. Simultaneously dry and creamy. — 2 years ago

J’ai découvert ce domaine Face B avec une autre cuvée, Makeba, que j’ai adorée. Celui ci ne déçoit pas, meme style épicé même si autre cépage (grenache). A suivre ! — 6 years ago

Le Chemin de Marloup Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Flinty- mineral- sea shell thing with some bright fruit, not as in- your- face as the fruit on NZ sav blancs. Was good by itself and with chicken. Would b nice with scallops. — 8 years ago
Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego
1961 vintage. Ahoy there! Lower neck fill. Durand employed. Opened (not decanted) with plenty of cork splintering/crumbles despite the Durand and meticulous/slow movements. Cork stayed intact but just barely and about 80% saturated. Extensive (3-4 minutes) cleaning of the bottle lip and inch-deep, upper neck to remove fused cork residue. Tasted 45 mins, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours after opening. Heavier body than expected given the producer. A bit of a slap in the face as it rolled in as medium/medium-heavy body which is hilarious. Nose initially a mysterious, century+ sitting room with plenty of decay, dust and past. Things shifted to soy/teriyaki sauce fairly shortly after with a little 5-10 minute fried chicken nose that vanished. Various (dark/semi-sweet) chocolates and cherry reduction sauce eventually emerged. A paced, harmonious narrative stayed constant throughout. Gorgeous experience. Didn't exactly diminish my impressions of H-B being the best first growth in BDX. It's generally the lightest and least-flashy. 1.23.26. — 4 months ago
