Dry, light, citrus. Not overly complex. Nicer cavas are better value. — 3 months ago

Give it some time and it really shows. Citrus, floral, bright berry, salinity and my kind of acidity with just enough richness and mineral balance! Delicious juice — 5 months ago

Champs to start the evening. Pinot Meunière seems a bit more savory, nutty and structured than your typical champagne varietals. Dig it. Not sure why this app thinks it’s a red though. 😂 — a year ago

Rich and luscious, super yeasty, lemon, melon, and minerality. So good! — 2 years ago

So good. Clean, brioche, green apple, crushed rocks and great acid. Was lucky enough to visit the winery last year. Really great producer. — 4 months ago

Very nice. Finish is crisp and livery. All kinds of dried fruit with overtone of apple and pear. A nice champagne. — 7 months ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. The “Extra Quality” is a silly, old-school sounding designation…but this is sort of an old-school style of Champagne. It was a little “meh” on the first pour; unwilling to show much. However, with some air it opened up and displayed a pleasant balance of fruit and autolytic character. Works a little better with food than an aperitif. Disgorged May of 2022 — 4 months ago

Inaugural release from Pauline, Raphaël Bérèche’s wife. Made of old-vine Pinot Noir from her own family’s estate. 48 months on lees and with a dosage of 3.5 g/l. Scarce as hen’s teeth with a mere 1996 bottles produced. Delicious, though I did find it a tad simple (and primary). Heaps of green apples and citrus fruits. Tasted almost like Zapple for those in the know. Air did coax out the more mineralic elements, along with hints of nuttiness and toast. Good energy. A lovely first release and definitely one to follow. — 8 months ago

Nose is lees, lemon, honey, apple, pear, and floral scents. (One of the most aromatic champagnes I’ve run across). Dry on the palate with more lees, lemon, grapefruit, quince, gunpowder, and lots of minerals. Medium fine bubbles, high acid, and a long finish. — a year ago
