My last bottle of the 16 and quite different comments than previous bottles. Loaded with ripe dark cherry. Well balanced but the dark cherry is clearly primary. Tannins were perfectly softened. Medium plus finish. Very good wine but not as remarkable as the last bottle. — 2 months ago

A pale light yellow in the glass. Delicate small bubbles and nice creaminess. The nose is incredibly fresh with a touch of menthol complemented by pineapple. Nuttiness and baked bread along with pears. Tasted in the Grassl 1855 which showed more autolytic aromas after given time and air.

Another stellar champagne from the 2008 vintage. Blanc de blancs from Montgenost disgorged in 2019. Lowish dosage of 5 g/l but it doesn’t bring searing acidity, instead it delivers intensity, purity, and drama.

Pleasing and pleasant, there’s quite a bit to like here. The palate is focused and harmonious with complexity. Lively and intense on the tongue with plenty of citrus that recedes only for brioche bread to take the lead. Minerality on the long finish. Revisit this a few more years down the road and you’ll be happy. — 3 years ago

Golden apple, hay, chanterelle. Cool to try but not sure it’s entirely worth the hype. — 6 months ago

Poured at the Domaine by Vincent Ruiz, who has taken over the Estate and finished the bottling of this wine. The label was selected by Belluard’s wife, Valerie. After tasting through tank samples of the 2022 Gringets, it appears the Domaine (now called Domaine du Gringet) is in excellent hands. A beautiful site and a highly recommended visit. — a year ago
