Jan 24th, 2018Vintage 2010. Bottled 7/2011. Disgorged 3/2016. Like a big broad blade... volume, size and breadth but with a fine, defined edge. Hints of citrus marmalade, lightly toasted sourdough toast touched by salted French butter... deft, balanced, and on point. Yum!

May 24th, 2017A single vineyard Champagne made entirely of Chardonnay from a 1 hectare site. 2 grams/L of dosage and disgorged in October 2014 after 4 years of bottle aging on lees (bottled July 2010).
Tension & power, linear, bright, fresh...still arching up strong, so its still young. That is the fabulous 2008 Champagne vintage represented well here. On that note as awesome as it is now, wait another 2+ years up to 10-12, maybe more.

2009, Disgorged June '16, funnily enough a little leaner than the previous release, possibly due to the age, but not screaming '09. Has the classic mineral backbone, with rolled oats, lime sherbet & a great acid structure to round it all off, outstanding wine.
