Gorgeous wine and drinking so well and has that ultra pure and crystallized 2019 darker fruits. Nose is black and red cherrie, earth, minerals, kirsch and blackberry. Dynamite clarity to the nose. Palate is so juicy and so concentrated with a bit of a muddle now as it needs to come into focus but it will. Such purity and depth. Let’s see how air treats this wine. — 2 months ago

This was surprisingly delicious. Beautiful fruit up front. So typically ‘clos de la Roche’ showing beautifully. I can still taste it — 9 months ago

This is a special champagne. Aged so gracefully. In a 2nd maturation phase that is getting the caramel flavors out. I should have bought a lot more. This is worth every penny if you can find it. — 2 years ago

Last bottle of a summer dinner- no decant. 2nd tasting of this vintage & much more expressive than the first. Throws Brett a decent amount & imagine some might prefer a substantial decant, though I like the funkiness. Fine toothed &a lovely grainy, slightly chewy texture & rather elegant; cassis, black currant, smoked beef jerky, & black cherry on palate & nose. Not complex at this stage but who needs it given the enjoyment factor. Post meal ( or probably blended into the end) of grilled BBQ chicken, French lentilsw labneh, & local tomato salad. There goes summer… — 3 months ago

Exquisite lemon-lime interlace couched in pith exemplifies the stated, but somehow simultaneously highlights a rounder, olive-floral, cherry and pear blossom otherness. Rich palate drives an olive and lemon oil union straight into an interesting baked lemon flattening with bright acid dichotomy. Incredible depth and infinite layers of stunning complexity. Needs many more years, but wow.
