Smells clean, forest after a rain, pepper, a bit of fruit. Palate is bigger than nose but so god with food. Cedar, cassis, dried cherries, pine, great tannin, earth. Just wonderful. — 4 years ago

Gorgeously lush nose with lemon oil, spritzy fine acid and minerals aplenty. A delicious midpalate with floral notes and slate. Brilliant stuff. — 5 years ago

Is Nathalie my favorite winemaker rn? Prolly so. South in here to unpack—cranberry, smoke, almost a bit of a beef stock at the very end — 7 years ago

Acid seemed to be more in play. I was prefer the edge and zip this carried across the palate than previous experience which emphasized a more vinous quality to it. Lovely transition. — 8 years ago

Great tasting tonight. An excellent start with a fantastic bottle of bubbles. Lots of spice from the oak barrels during fermentation. Baking spice and citrus notes come thru nicely. Big finish of tangerine and baking spices. Very elegant. — 9 years ago

A show stopper. 60 year old vines, no malo, 84 months on the lees. Maybe the most elegant BdB I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting — 4 years ago

Perfect for Valentine’s Day. First things first, this is a stunning salmon rose color in the glass. Persistent perlage with a creamy mousse. Tiny little bubbles. A terrific red fruit bouquet showcasing wild strawberry, orange peels, and red cherries. Purple flowers and dried herbs compliment. But I just cannot get over this striking color.

Pure sex in a bottle. Not dainty or waifish at all, there’s some serious muscle here to go along with the innate finesse. Disgorged 10/19 with a 9 g/l dosage, the striking acidity takes care of that and provides a smooth experience on the tongue. 90/10 PN/CH this is one of the standout Rosé champagnes around. Never cloying despite the dosage, everything here is perfectly balanced and structured. Just splendid really.

Sensual in the mouth, you get a full blast of red fruit on the palate. That 15% of still red wine really shows here. Grapefruit and dried cherries are dominant with a little strawberry joining in. Peaches and cream with herbs. Medium long finish. An outstanding grower that really is a cut above the rest. — 5 years ago

Secondary notes coming through with a whiff of sherry then lemon, some sweetness. There’s lovely balance and complexity in the mid palate and a sophisticated finish. A good time to drink this. — 6 years ago

The bottle that got me into so called “natural wines”. Fresh and lively fruit and acidity, but enough structure to really pair with a wide range of dishes.

2011 was the last vintage grown by the late producer and where his wife and family had to take over the winemaking after his tragic passing.

Happy to share it with the person that introduced me to this wine 6yrs ago. — 7 years ago

Smells like fresh oysters, lemon zest and chalk.. if that makes sense... bubbles are very delicate, wine is very tart with a creamy texture. Hands down my favorite Champagne in the GH Mumm line. — 8 years ago

Beautifully aged Champagne. Inspiring to want to lay down some current release Champers for decades. Like a beautiful Montrachet with richness and purity. — 9 years ago

When you want some rosé bubbles - this is a great choice. Light, effervescent, young red fruit hides behind the brut notes of the standard Champagne from this house. Finishes with a satisfying crispness! — 4 years ago

Refreshing. Mouthwatering lemon citrus with a clean mineral finish. Would be awesome with oysters on the half shell. TBL — 5 years ago

Good all round dry vermouth. Goes well in cocktails as it does not overwhelm. Will not ruin a good gin. Also decent as an aperitif over ice or with soda. — 6 years ago

Wasn’t sure what to expect from a 1976 champagne but the palate matched the golden honey color. Toasted nuts, brioche. Slightly on the tired side but the bubbles were still going strong! Impressive!
