On the nose, almost gummy style fruits. Strawberries, cherries, hint of very ripe cooked rhubarb, tangerine, some white citrus, sea spray, nice soft chalkiness & red & pink roses.

The palate reveals; some sweet & sour cherries & strawberry notes, very ripe rhubarb, tangerine, blood orange, passion fruit, lean watermelon, saline, nice grainy grey volcanic minerals that leave a long deep presence on your palate that could be mistaken for spice on the long set, sea shells, beautiful chalkiness, red florals and pink roses, nice round acidity and a long rich, polished finished.

This rose is an interesting change from the ones we've been enjoying lately. The fruits are slightly candied & soured. Not quite watermelon Jolly Rancher but it's close. Black cherries, black raspberries, watermelon, cherries, poached strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, tangelos & pomegranate reduction. The fruits leave a film on your palate as if you'd had a piece of hard candy. The bubbles aren't micro but they feel very delicate on the palate. The minerals are light, soft and beautiful as is the chalkiness. The finish is round, full, expressive and long. Outstanding value versus some of the more expensive roses we had lately...Krug, Billecart and Ruinart. It's not as good or as well made but it's certainly pleasurable. — 8 years ago

From magnum. Our aperitif with the Cattier father and son team who make the wine for Jay Z in Chigny-les-Rose on the Mountain of Reims. The current 750's are based on 2012, but this is based on 2010 as they did not use 2011 for Armand de Brignac. Toasty, tasty, simple Champagne. — 9 years ago

Oh this is a beauty. Simple, honest and still quite deep on the palate. Red berries, peach, roses — I would say it's a feminine wine that knows how to punch right. Thanks @Taylor Wilcox for the tip. We loved it.:) — 9 years ago

Really good. Base year 96 (50%,) with 95 and 97 making the rest. Broad and ripe in the nose- roses and bread. A developing saline/ marine element. Very Pinot (all Pinot?). Rounded and lush without over-ripeness. Singular and very lovely — 9 years ago

Such fine persistent bubbles, lively and full of personality. Fresh bursts of green pear, green apples, lemon and light toasted notes. Great with food. — 10 years ago

This grower Champagne from Paul Dethune opens with pretty, almost coquettish aromas of alpine strawberry, cherry crumble, roses and the merest hint of earth. And while the Pinot stands out—it should it's 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay—prolific bubbles lead into an unexpectedly intense, tensile acid spine that arcs and releases into chalky repose. The finish is consistent with the nose, cherry skins, pink grapefruit and vanilla. Disgorged June 2014 — 10 years ago
