The 48 month new unicorn wine. Caramelized and slightly oxidized but engaging and deep. Not as fine as the Prevost but a treat. Seemed young.

2017 base, 48 mois is still a baby. Very enjoyable but so much more to offer with some more bottle age, I’m sure. Best after 2 hours open.

The coveted 2018 disgorgement! 48 month sur lattes Les Pierrieres is a total stunner. Raring to go right out of the bottle, it’s simply just a complete Champagne. It displays a stunning crystalline purity and a seamless combination of richness and elegance. It’s layered with white flowers, fresh brioche, lemon candy and signature chalky minerals with fantastic persistence, cut and texture. A little age goes such a long way with these wines. Terrific.

Baked apples and pears, slight curry/masala spices, white rocks, low dosage, medium plus acidity. Lovely old school mixed with new generation style champagne.

Another brilliant cuvee from UC. Creamy and inviting. Has everything I like in a Champagne-richness, complexity and layers of texture.

Love the ever so subtle luscious and creamy oxidative nature underneath the vibrancy of this Pierrieres. Crunchy and airy, but with some depth and richness

Amazing champagne!! Unfortunately, Galatoire’s has seen better days! Really not good food, cooked poorly under seasoned and over all terrible! Every now and then, you gotta have a shitty meal to put things in perspective. Galatoire’s did it
