All about texture. Viscous and luscious, very shy in the nose but pristine in the harmony between tight yet ripe herbal character, minerality and nutty bitterness. Long finish. Needs time to develop intensity — 6 months ago

I love the nose on this wine!! The Grenache is immediately apparent. Notes of citrus and red fruits!! Light enough for hot weather and as summer approaches will be a nice wine for me!! — 9 months ago

Fine and persistent bubbles, raspberries, lemons, white peach, brioche. Lovely texture and great acid to balance the generosity of the vintage. My first Nominé-Renard Special Club and considering the relative restraint shown in 2015, I am really looking forward to many more. Drink now through 2035. — 5 months ago
Sabered and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The BdB NV pours a straw color with medium viscosity and a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with lovely notes of white peach, lightly toasted brioche, nuts and citrus. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. This is a richer style with lovely texture. Disgorged January 2022. Drink now and over the next handful of years. — 8 months ago

Amazing round buttery finish accentuated by the saline radish crudo with which it was paired @ Elvis, LES NYC — 25 days ago
