Wish I had the patience to cellar this but it’s brilliant already. So unique, incredible almost grainy texture and mouthfeels. Sappy and vibrant on the one hand but deep and savoury. Lovely stuff. — 10 months ago
Beautiful concentrated expression of Cabernet-Francs. Natural wine, without input, not filtered. Deep purple dress. Open nose. A round, fresh mouth that honours the fruit with marked floral notes. Allow to aerate one hour before serving.

Nez et bouche sur les fruits jaunes surtout, du menthol et moins typée Chablis ou Droin, la bouche est agréable, ronde, assez riche, la tension n’est pas tranchante ou pas autant typée que l’on pourrait s’attendre d’un Valmur GC. C’est bien mais sans être grand. 89-90
A nice bottle but not to GC level and not typical of Droin. Yellow orchard fruit, some menthol, round and rich, tension and acidity a bit low and non typical. — 4 years ago

First time with this producer.
100% grand cru Chardonnay (Cramant, Avize, Chouilly); 80% 2017 vintage (base), 20% from Solera dating back to 1998; 3.5g/l dosage; disgorged January 2022
I was fortunate to get this bottle that was already three+ years past disgorgement so this champagne was in a good window. Bright lemon and citrus-forward aromatics; floral too (honeysuckle). Took some time for any sort of yeasty/brioche to come around, but a little bit began to appear after the first glass. The time on lees helped give this some depth to avoid the harsh/overly intense profile some young grower BdB champagnes can posses. Chiseled but all things in their correct place. An elegant style with classical mineral/chalky limestone, lemon cream and added citrus. This leans on the lighter-side, so the use of dosage here likely helps broaden the palate in texture and length to prevent an overly-light (and/or austere) profile. — 5 months ago
