With Wilson Mabel at home dinner at parents with duck. Aged nicely though a bit on the acidic side and missing that primary fruits for a Bourgogne — 8 months ago
NV | a tasting at Brabantse Wijn Sociëteit opened my eyes for champagne from the Côtes de Bar, like this one. 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. Made with 20% reserve wine. It’s bouquet is its greatest quality: refinement, brioche, yeast and beautiful fruit like peach and apple. Good acidity. Paired with scrambled eggs breakfast. Merry X-Mas. 🎄🍾 — 2 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple days. Best on Day 2 as the fruit gained a lot of power. The 2021 Royer Vineyard pours a straw color with medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with medium+ intensity. Notes of matchstick, starfruit, passionfruit, lime, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+; zippy with intriguing minerals. Drink now with patience but better after 2025 and through 2036 — a year ago
Sipping Fine Wine
Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, nutty and flinty scents. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and orange citrus, cinnamon notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with nutty toasty spice, mineral and citrus notes. Great now! — 13 days ago
