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.

This is a preview bottle of 2009- he has yet to disgorge the first commercial release. It is darker, more full bodied but also drier than the 2008. It is hard not to be impressed by the pure power of the century old Meunier used for the red wine here!

The mousse was really aggressive to start, but a little air and swirling dealt with that. This is a dark rose in color...looks like a saignee. On the nose: wild strawberry, lemon and cranberry. On the palate: good acidity, pink grapefruit and pomegranate, then a nice clean finish.
