Mkt bra BdB. Riktigt bra pigg syra, grönäpplighet och undertoner av nougat som verkligen tillför. 2008! — 9 years ago

At first I didn't realise this had no dosage. Perfectly balanced non-dosé - perhaps the partial malo helped toned down the acidity, or maybe some rs in the base/ex-tirage wine. Chalky undertones (perfect expression of terrior imo), nice autolytic characters (2 years in bottle), apple, grapefruit, lemon, honey, and a touch of stinky funk. Really quite a delicious bdb.

Note: Laherte Frères. Grower champagne from Coteaux Sud d'Épernay (slopes to the south of Épernay). Young winemaker, Aurelian Laherte, joining family estate. Biodynamically farmed, wild yeast ferments, 80% of cuvees fermented in old oak (ex-Ben Leroux and Liger-Belair). Focus on terrior. — 9 years ago

Dominated by fresh yellow orchard fruits. Yellow apples, yellow pear, quince, orange zest, white blossoms. Elegant mineral tone of wet clay, sweet cream, light caramel, warm spices. Demonstrates BdB elegance with a touch more weight to it. Beautiful and very accessible. 7/2015 disgorgement. — 9 years ago

My first of the '12's. I think this is my favorite BDB yet, still mineral and saline but this year has a little more fruit profile to balance it. — 9 years ago

Really good--polar opposite style for BdB from the Taittinger CdC but held it's own considering price. — 11 years ago
