NV. This is not a “contractor” wine. Delivers as expected and for the negotiated price without delays, excuses, cost overruns, shoddy workmanship or disappointment. 01.22.25. — 10 days ago

Some goji in the mix, and a little peat. Very particular moment. Would crush with curry — 2 years ago

Happy New Year! 🎉🎈🎆🎊 🧨

From Mag. 96 an excellent vintage. Magnum is the preferred storage for Champagne.

You can sense the age from the very first sip.

Nose has a little bruised apple & pear, apple cider, dry apricots, malt, notes of caramel, sugar in the raw, cream, sea spray/fossils, understated lemon/lime pulp, slightly fermented pineapple, white spice, baguette crust, graham crackers, withering yellow flowers, lilies.

The palate is bruised apple & pear, apple cider, dry apricots, malt, notes of caramel, sugar in the raw, cream, sea spray/fossils, understated lemon/lime pulp, slightly fermented pineapple, yellow melons, white spice, baguette crust, graham crackers, hints of understated maple soda , limestone marl, crumbly, moist, white chalk, withering yellow flowers, lilies, perfect, racy acidity, excellent; balance, tension, structure and a smartly polished finish that last minutes and falls in white spice and minerals. — a month ago

Wow. 1998 was a great year and this is an awesome iteration. 2nd maturation phase. Perfectly (yes, honestly) balanced flavor profile and still vibrant - not sure what we can drink next to keep going upwards - let’s see. — 4 months ago

This rarely disappoints and is, next to Deutz, Pol Roger and Henriot, my favourite go-to champagne.
Love the fresh red fruit with the creamy background and rich, round mouthfeel and the long lasting, tiny bubbles.
Such good sipping! — 4 years ago
