The 2015 vintage kicked out 1852 as the hottest vintage in Champagne until 2018 came along. This is mostly Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Meunier. No dosage.
Leads with cherries that have a liqueur quality. Very ripe, juicy & strawberries, some black raspberries, blood orange, guava, very, thick, almost foamy mousse, limestone & chalk powder, some white pepper, only hues of sea fossils, light sea spray, white spice with heat as it sets, red & pink roses with a touch of spring flowers, excellent, soft acidity, softly woven & structured, well balanced and a subtle polished finish that lasts over a minute.

Lovely, classy Beaujolais village level gamay, 2020 vintage enjoying early in 2024.
Goes well with cheese and crackers and staying indoors on cold winter nights. — 4 months ago
Blackberry, chocolate and spicy aromas. Medium tannins and juicy. Went nicely with a hamburger blended with mild jalapeño and cheese. I would get this wine again. — a month ago
Just what I want in a Crozes. So earthy and mineral on the nose. Just wafting out of the glass with dirty crushed granite and feral scents. Some rich blackberry fruit and dried beef too. Broad and very open on the palate. Rich savory flavors all over the place. Some tannin provides a bit of scaffolding, but this is all about now. (I sometimes refer to a good Crozes as “slutty” Syrah, but I probably should avoid terms that have historically been used disparagingly, even though I mean it in a good way!) — 3 months ago

Maybe it bit too full bodied for my taste, but it easily balanced itself with acidity. A fine production. — 18 days ago
