Thought I’d try their N/V after enjoying their 16 Grand Cru Special Cru so much. It’s nice but not the life changing 2016. 100% Chardonnay.

Seems like there is some wood in this or saw some air during fermentation. Apple, pear, touch of pineapple, nice mousse, white citrus blend, baguette crust, yeasty, bread dough, graham cracker, limestone marl, chalkiness that grips with a sharp press into the palate, white spice, sea fossils, light saline, white flowers, excellent crisp acidity and an excellently balanced, well structured & balanced finish that lasts a full minute. — 6 months ago

Full bodied, not heavy. Tastes of oak, like young Bordeaux. Needs a 60 minute decant. After a week with Coravin, more cherry, no oak. — 3 months ago

No formal notes but like other 2010’s either in a dumb phase or just a spotty vintage. — 5 months ago
