Ripe nose, lifted, moving towards a almost honeyed/nutty stage. Citrus peel, lime curd, green papaya, quince and yellow apple skin. Back palate is powerful, mineral and phenolic depths dominate the finish. To me a touch disjointed and lacking a wholeness to it. 100 CH 70 Cramant 30 Oger, 50% 2008 reserve, 11.2013 disgorgement

Disgorged 05/15/2013. Capital E extra brut. Great fruit. Powerful wine. Acid seems a bit over bearing/searing. Little softness to the edge. Still an intriguing enjoyable wine.

"Old" bottle but doing well. Must be degorgement 2017 or earlier, as it has been a long time since I visited the Domaine. Low dosage BdB can be excellent, like is the case for Varnier-Fannière.

Very special, red fruits from Pinot noir. No, this is made from Chardonnay grape. 2nd time on 200318, tasty giving impact with matured pear and nuts flavor and sourness. @2300, - Kkami, 210303

Geeky and tasty.
Lovely nose. Expansive. Rich bit not vulgar. As it opens a savory element.
Delicious fruit. Fuji apples with crisp minerality. Hint of yummy iodine?
Finish has this lovely refined richness as this opens. Terrific.
As this open more almost like this fine non obnoxious sherry like finish. Spectacular.
