This is the 60 months on lees, vs the 48 month on lees & I believe a 36 month version exists. This is a 2014 base , March 2020 disgorgement. An explosive & complex nose that is the clue that you will be drinking something very special. Acid that electrifies the mouth. Concentrated flavors of lemon, chalk and pear. A rare combination of richness and weightlessness. An infant with a wonderful future.

2009 disgorgement. Without a doubt, this is one of the best bottlings in Champagne for me. Stunning every single time.

13.1 disgorgement. Hulking power and intensity is met with great minerality and energy. It will be interesting to see what the new wood component in this disgorgement evolves into.

Just amazing complexity. Started out with fried chicken aromatic - which I didn’t hate, yes, I know that’s odd - and then opened up into a picture perfect Blanc de Blancs of concentration, depth, and power.

Biggest hit of the night. Especially with the folks who think they don't like Champagne.

high-toned, nice lift, well-integrated oak - a vineous champagne of structure and texture... the 13% abv didn't disturb
