2013 harvest, Oct 2018 disgorgement. Very dry with good acid. Young needs 1-2 years.

Oro pajizo, en nariz notas cítricas, fruta de hueso poco madura. En boca fresco, acidez y final salino pero ligero... Un poco más básico.

My first bottle of corked champagne ever, bummer!

Love this. Honey, lees, pear, chalk, some fruit cake, some citrus more like lemon curd. Great with salty food. Very dry. There’s a nice roundness though to middle palate. Definitely austere side of champs. 2015 harvest, disgorged 2019.

Happy Friday!🍾 Not a bad one, but not outstanding. Strong bubbles. Had it before (and with) BBQ chicken thighs and basil red cabbage slaw. The slaw didn't turn out great, but the overall meal was just fine 🙂

Pretty amazing texture and richness. Such focus too... damn!

Bottle from Helen. She picked up at Vin. Dry, not too much residual sugar.
