A pale light yellow in the glass. Delicate small bubbles and nice creaminess. The nose is incredibly fresh with a touch of menthol complemented by pineapple. Nuttiness and baked bread along with pears. Tasted in the Grassl 1855 which showed more autolytic aromas after given time and air.
Another stellar champagne from the 2008 vintage. Blanc de blancs from Montgenost disgorged in 2019. Lowish dosage of 5 g/l but it doesn’t bring searing acidity, instead it delivers intensity, purity, and drama.
Pleasing and pleasant, there’s quite a bit to like here. The palate is focused and harmonious with complexity. Lively and intense on the tongue with plenty of citrus that recedes only for brioche bread to take the lead. Minerality on the long finish. Revisit this a few more years down the road and you’ll be happy. — 4 years ago

Kicking off with this bottle to start a night is putting in a cheat code for a game. Layers and layers of flavors. Pears, apricot compote, yeasty goodness and more. #primetimewinetime #右上の会 — 8 years ago

Delightful. Refined, fresh, clean, bright acidity but not too much. Green apples. This is a half bottle and I imagine day two would delicious. — 2 years ago

Interesting but a little too funky for me. Not that I didn’t finish my glass (or two)... — 7 years ago
