A pleasant surprise, albeit showing a hint of maturity on the palate.
Nose displays strawberries with a wisp of mushrooms. Palate is bold and vigorous. This all about energy power. Overall, excellent. I just caught this in its old man phase. Certainly, a producer to watch.
Mo wasn’t feeling it, but I have assumed editorial liberties (and it came from our cellar).

Massive rosé from one of the best growers we carry. This is rich Champagne that has amazing fresh red berry start to finish and a zip of acidity on the mid palate.

67% pinot, 33% chardonnay. 50% of the pinot is traditional red wine maceration.

Nice autolytic notes on the nose of brioche topped with strawberries. Touch of biscuit and red fruit with good acidity on the palate. A bit of cherry flavored medicine mid-palate is a bit off-putting for me.

If nothing else, a unique, interesting wine.
