Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France
Absolutely stunning. Hallucinatory fruit. Poached pear, baked green apple, stewed quince, nutty flavors, toasted poppy seeds, grains, and just a beautiful savory finish that is so persistent. Very long, and then a high tone perfume sneaks in. Peony and exotic flowers peek through on the finish.

Light straw color, lots of bubbles and nice energy in the glass. Has an exciting nose that expresses Blanc de Blanc attributes and the potential of a great young champagne. Opened for 30 min before trying it, I think it came out of the blocks as closed and not showing much. With air it opens up somewhat – but this definitely needs years more lying on its side to gain some age and complexity. Notes of citrus and some toast, some creamy floral notes, some river stone and some fresh cut apples. Wanted to try this out, and will wait for another 5 years before touching the next one. Reminded me of the 2002 when I first tried it. Will be great, and patience is needed to watch it develop and grow up.

Tightly wound. A hint of sweetness. Great fruit. Too young now.

Happy New Year! A great bottle, just epic. Obviously very a young, but still magnificent!

Scintillating - never have I ever used this to describe pretty much anything. Elegantly refined and extremely balanced. Brioche, ripe grapefruits. Excellent salinity to a very long finish. This might ruin champagne for me...

Wins not for ostentation but for the real package.

Perhaps the best champagne we’ve had this year. Tightly-wound, but many many pleasures to be had. Hazelnut, brioche, and, as it opens, a hedonistic buttered popcorn note. Nothing out of place. Simply fabulous with years to go. ❤️🥂 @Geoff Franz
