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. — 12 days ago

Excellent Champagne. One of the best rosés I’ve tried. Very crisp, but some nice fruity notes showing through. — 4 years ago

‘95 vintage, yellow fresh fruits, Chardonnay base, but not buttery at all. Delicious solo or with fruit juice. — 6 days ago

2022/9/22-23. 2008-11 base, degorged Dec. 2020, dosage 6.6 g/l. I think this was my first time with this producer and wine. It started a touch hard but with some air revealed lots of tasty lemon, chalk and butter. I was surprised to see how many years this was on the lees - it didn’t seem so deep at first, but it’s a grower. — 3 years ago
