A worthy redemption to my abysmal wine run in 2023! LC18. So delicious. Once more, I reckon WK nailed the tasting notes here, “Offering up inviting aromas of crisp orchard fruit, blanched almonds, honeycomb, walnuts and fenugreek, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and precise, with a fine-boned but intensely flavored profile, complemented by a beautiful pinpoint mousse. Brochet is the master of intensity without weight, and this wine exemplifies that.” Awe-inspiring salinity too if I had to add anything to WK’s notes. Super wine!

Incredible Champagne, surely one of the best bottles of wine I’ve ever had. This was a wine of duality—high acid and bright citrus counterbalanced with bruised apple and pie crust. The style is oxidized, broad, complex, and rich.
