Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The NV Grand Vallée Extra Brut pours a straw color with a faint bronze tinge and persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh raspberries, strawberry, peach, lemon and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and packed with minerals. Quite lovely. Drink now. Disgorged Spring of 2023. — 7 days ago

I love this producer. This wine is deeper, darker and more structured than some of their other (no less interesting) varietal bottlings. Brambly and smoky wild berries abound. Young but approachable — 9 months ago
