Yeasty and citrusy. Zest and wet stones. Young, vibrant BdB. Very Le Mesnil. Love it. Will do even better with some bottle age.

Crisp, refreshing, quite gentle, warm brioche and a bit of citrus on the finish. Very enjoyable.

Mateo Sarah Anne visit and he’s a foodie and vino lover especially Champagne. Wow! A Blanc de Blanc with clean complex white floral nose laced just so with yeasty profile but not in your face like B-S. Dances on the palate and super long evolving finish. Yum! Terrific with the Asian style scallops appetizer

This is right up my alley. Distinctly golden with a plethora of bubbles. The nose is just ridiculously charming with seashells and warm butter. Chalk and apples with a light dusting of cinnamon. Honeydew with dried herbs and waffles with syrup.

Vintage Blanc de Blancs from the Côte des Blancs and positively luminous. Inherent vibrant and immediately engaging, this has everything you love about champagne. Sophistication and refinement for days, this has many a year left to go.

Well structured and beatific, this grows as you give it time to develop over a couple of days. Very clean with laser focus throughout. The palate displays an autolytic nature combined with fresh citrus and more apples of all colors. Still highly expressive on day two with a long, crystalline finish. In a word, superb.
