Oprah, Harry, Meghan... sounds like Champagne to me. My first experience with this wine... and a happy one. Brilliant, clear, light lemon yellow... active, tiny bubbles. Delightfully light on its feet right out of the fridge. Impeccable balance and round on the long finish. Think young white Burgundy with bubbles. Cream, strawberry, tart Granny Smith and no oxidative notes. I’m not sure this wine needs time... it’s delightful right now. — 6 hours ago

Loving this, macerated Pinot Gris, vivacious, fresh and captivating. Bitter and peppery notes. — 2 days ago

Great tension, focus and precision with a sharp acid spine and intense minerality. But it lacks complexity and finishes abruptly. Still too young. Drink ‘11 even though not the best vintage while you wait for ‘12 and ‘13. — 19 days ago

Been a while since I’ve had the 17. Nose of flint, green apples and pears. Beautiful purity and perfect ripeness. Ethereal minerals. Concentrated, dense and salty. Wow. What salinity this has picked up. Awesome purity. Just so structured and pure. AmazIng focus and linearity. Just an epic epic finish. So lean yet so luscious. A contradiction in the best possible ways. Best bottle of this yet. Texture is like icing on a cake. Amazingly saline and mineral and cot damn that finish doesn’t give up! So long. Just an unreal bottle. Reference point. A benchmark. A wine even Mr. Bean will drink. — 13 days ago

Pale lemon with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, sweet spice, nutty and white floral notes, an elegant nose. On the palate, ripe apple, pear, lemon and subtle wet stone with a creamy texture. Long finish, medium-bodied, well balanced with medium+ acidity, ending with great depth and a very light touch of minerality. Nice! — a day ago

Really love the freshness of this champagne. Fine bubbles, great minerality and the lemony freshness really make this bubbly so fun to drink. Need more of this. — 16 hours ago

Perfumed nose showing dark berry fruits with an inky, graphite & mineral note that stains the palate. Lovely aromatics, silky on the palate & continues to build in the glass. — 2 days ago

Less overt oak than the 2012 I had recently. Hopefully this reflects a slight change of mindset from one of my favorite producers. — 6 days ago

Looking for a house brut nature, this might be the one. Flinty and crisp, with enough body and fruit to balance the cut. Citrus focused with some pear in the mid palate and a slatey finish. Nicely brisk with good drive and persistence. Great value to boot. — 7 days ago

Ripe strawberries with a lingering sweet taste. Chocolate and earth. The more you drink wine the more you appreciate the wizardry of these winemakers. — 3 days ago
