Medium lemon yellow fine , persistent perlage . Quite rich and ripe on the nose with some roasted nuts , lemon peel , some camomile , still quite restrained and a little closed. On the palate again quite full and rich , ripe lemon fruit , orange rind , roasted nuts and a creamy mouthfeel , certainly enough acidity to balance but on the richer side . Good length and lightly toasty finish . This is good now but will probably improve over the next few years and last well a further 5-10 . — 10 days ago

This is my last bottle of 3 and wish I had more… this has been consistently excellent and has taken on a dark gold color with toasted brioche notes while maintaining its lip smacking acidity don’t hesitate to drink it should you have the opportunity to enjoy it — a month ago

Enjoying this knowing my Cornhuskers already punched their ticket to their first ever Sweet 16 last night in one of the games of the tournament so far.

At this point, it’s a “pick’em” between the Bérêche Brut Réserve and Caillez-Lemaire’s “Éclats” for the title of, “Kline Fam house Champagne”. They just delivery in the way I want/trust/expect and can afford. This is the November 2025 disgorgement. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The Brut Réserve pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of apple, pineapple, raspberry, lemon curd, brioche, marzipan, and a mix of chalk and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and laden with minerals. So easy to love. Drink now but you can hold for many years if you want as well. — 2 months ago

Opens up after 1 hour. Honey, cherry, hazelnut . Lively acidity, but well integrated. You can feel the tannins at the end. — 4 days ago

Previous notes apply. Definitely getting more strawberries & cherries on this bottle.

Excellent Extra Brut in 375ml to enjoy with the Jasper Hill Farms Champagne Washed Harbison.

Disgorged 1/23. 1g is technically Nature, not EB. Still love it. — a month ago
