Merengue and styrofoam conspire on the tall, popping head which drops egg and dart to ant tunnel lacing. Pointillist plateau. Soda bread nose goes doughy with distinct yeast character, and lemon zest, uncooked cream of wheat, white potato and just-pulled garlic micro-note. Tremendous and astounding entry on sipping! This might be my ‘go-to’ hell!
Orange bread with notes of lemon; Hawaiian bread, evocations of custard and malted milk with brown sugar barley, just minus how sweet that might seem. Very beer core here with dried papaya dusting and candied grapefruit. Incredible.

Star bright yellow gold. Abundant nose of tropical fruit bubble gum. The medium palate expands the nose to kumquat, underripe papaya, citrus rind, and creamy white pepper along with numerous other yellow fruit and white spices that dart in and out. Medium plus acidity makes this a wonderful main course dinner white. Fantastic! Drink now or a couple of years on. — 2 years ago
Strawberry, darker fruit, and citrus nose - pure and fresh. Medium bodied, refreshing on the palate with moderate acidity and excellent balance. Need more of this!! — 2 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Solid on Day 1 but even better on Day 2 under a muzzle. The BdB Grand Cru NV pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Gala apple, white flowers, a whiff of brioche, lemon curd, marzipan, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Beautiful stuff that has a ways to go. In typical fashion, Madame Fallet blends two vintages and this bottle was based on 2015/2016. No disgorgement data provided. — 3 days ago
