Nov 27th, 2025Always struggled with their style and further adding to that struggle is their price point. While they are a known quality producer, oxy just isn’t my wheelhouse.
Bruised apple & Bosc pear, apple cider, grapefruit, marzipan, saline, some caramel notes, yeastiness, bread dough, crisp chalkiness, limestone marl, touch of unsweetened graham crackers, withering yellow lilies, pleasant acidity and while it has a nice structure, balanced, but the finish falls into an unpleasant over oxidative bitterness/bite.

Pale gold hue. Aromas and flavors of apple, brioche, cream, peach, pear, minerals, and saline. Medium body and high acidity. Long finish. Balanced and beautiful. 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay.

Mar 9th, 20242018 base. Outstanding. Stone and austerity mask ripe lemon curd, stone fruit and baking spice. The palate is wow, with ethereal mouthfeel, a lightness that you wouldn’t expect from the ripe profile and layers of length and complexity

Extra brut. Assemblage base vendage 2017. Disgorged December 2022. Dosage 2g/L. So well balanced. Color is gold. Apricots, some baked apple, minerals galore, a bit of brightness like lime, biscuit. Finish is full with more stone fruit, almond biscotti, key lime. Just invites me back for more. Outstanding.
