Been awhile since I’ve had this one. Always consistently good.
Beautiful mousse, bruised red apple & Bosc pear, underripe pineapple flesh, blood orange, quince, nougat, hints of white peach, white spice-ginger, whipped cream, yeasty bread dough, sea spray, speckled chalk bits, grey volcanics, limestone, withering yellow lilies/flowers, crisp acidity, well tensioned-structured, well balanced and elegant finish that last two-minutes.

Complex, oxidative Champagne. A joy tasting this after the last time of doing so four years ago. Superb stuff.

Aug 24th, 2021My style of Champagne...65% reductive-35% oxidative. Really love how they stylized this cuvée.
Previous notes will stand.
Last of our garden cherries tomatoes. 😞

Aug 23rd, 2020Tonight we tested the Riedel Vintage Sommelier flutes with the friends that gifted us our first set vs the flutes we had been using.
I wanted to do it with this champagne as I know it well. Moving back and forth between flutes, the nose was more green apple with the Somm flutes which, show more pineapple at the start.
From the Somm flutes there was green apple, lime zest, lemon, nougat, almonds, yeasty, more refined grainy minerals, volcanics, saline, yellow flowers with jasmine. The acidity is near perfect. The finish is; rich, well polished, nicely knitted and persists for minutes.

May 23rd, 2020Hopefully, our 49er celebration Champange. Go 9ers.
The Charles Heidsieck is a beautiful Champagne with great mouthfeel. Hard to beat at just under $50.
Hope you have some nice bottles planned for your Super Bowl party. Cheers! 🍾🥂
