Laser acidity and precision, Salon-esque, extremely dry, extra-brut is no joke, demands oysters

Brushed apple & butter on nose; very vinous, even Cognac-like on palate, with wet limestone and chalk on the lengthy finish.

Balanced, elegant, classy wine. Met the winemaker at Effervescence. Amazing.

A bit too much of the apple fruit denominated flavor profile. Bright, clean, good minerality and (too) subtle brioche notes.

New producer for me, excellent length and good bubble structure. Great way to open the palate.

Very nice extra brut bottle. Limestoney, chalky, great balance and silky smooth on the palate with aplle and tangerine notes.

Accidentally foto'd the blanc de blanc but I'm tasting the 2004 brut. Tasting portion: nose is green apple and sweetness. Acidic limestone and chalk are holding my mouth hostage for a long period of time. I attempt to reset with a potato chip. That's ok but this is relentless and unforgiving. I'd call this wine a dominatrix and a good refresher if you need a swift slap in the face as most of us do.
