75% 2007 fruit, disgorged 2018. Bright and lively but dense, rich fruit, toast, brioche, lemon zest. Awesome!

2009 Base. Disgorged January 2018. Continuing on the rich and autolytic spectrum, this was stone fruit, brioche and lightly toasted marshmallow. That being said, it was noticeably drier than the Philipponat Royale Reserve that preceded it and seemed to have a slightly greater depth of character.

Give it a moment to open up and don’t serve it too chilled or else you miss out on the layers of flavors. Great blend of the 05 (4%), 06 (21%), and 07 (75%) vintages!

Base wine - 2011 vintage. Closed and rather linear, give it time and let it warm up. Brioche-baked sweet apple-spices accord. Lovely work. According to just-released statistics, more champagne was sold in Washington DC this weekend than over the past two years. We are in the other Washington but were happy to join in and our sigh of relief was certainly louder than the nun’s fart released on popping this.

Shabbat wine tasting
Mar 24th, 2018Clean with a subtle richness of flavor. Paired well with a plate of steamed poirot. Mostly 2006 and 2005 vintage grapes. #wheninparis

Needs to be really chilled for the dry fruits to tame and let the nuts and yeasty aromas come out. Right now feeling a predominant aroma of bread and brioche followed by apricots and nuances of fresh stone fruits. on the mouth the fresh almonds and apricots come out. Creamy mouse Ans medium length. Not extremely elegant but great for the price
