We called this as being mellowed with time versus muted. The flavors were great but lacked acidity sharpness. Mom said she was a big fan of this. Very enjoyable with the standard flavors but not as intense. — 6 months ago

I am seldom dumbfounded when it comes to wine. So, I appreciate it when that happens.

This 1990 La Grande Dame was amazing and so fresh. Full disclosure, I am not normally impressed by this producer and this cuvée. Unusual for a champagne of 35 yrs to be so fresh in my experience from inception. So much so, if poured blind many would call it N/V or a fairly recent vintage. The color was even palish straw. Mags were brought from their Champagne House.

Excellent with the dessert of the evening, “Lemon Meringue Pie Cookie.”

Enjoyed at the 2026 “From Cellar Event” Pebble Beach Food and Wine.

Delicate notes of citrus lemon, white peach, underripe apricot, white pepper, and a slight grassy undertone. Palate with more ripe apricot, saline, and juicy acidity. Finish is medium at best; definitely a nice warm weather wine, chilled. — 7 months ago
