Better than other Extra Bruts I have had. Very dry, crisp and toasty.

"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

Don't know the disgorgement date for this bottle, but this is amongst the best J-F I've had. Excellent!!

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.

Has that biscuit and stone fruit nose i enjoy so much, and the razor sharp acidity flavor of a low dosage bottle most of my friends enjoy.
The mousse is not as fine as I'd like, but still great.
Id say this goes great with oyster or other briny seafood. The nose makes me think it would love some popcorn also :-)
