Light salmon color, with a very fine mousse with strawberries & with a slight touch of flint. On the palate this champer provides wonder fruit again strawberry with no stickiness precision with a wonder mousse that makes the dance go away. Nice. For those wanting to explore Rośe champagnes good started & a decent value as compared to other Rośes. Cheers! — 7 years ago
Bolla fine, abbondante e cremosa, naso intenso ed elegante con note caratteristiche di limoni maturi, lieviti, fragoline acerbe e un leggero balsamico perfettamente integrato. In bocca scorre con un grande equilibrio, un corpo medio e una buona persistenza. Il dosaggio lo aiuta ad equilibrare una freschezza ancora importante. Prodotto sicuramente interessante in una fascia di prezzo dove mi sarei aspettato maggior complessità — 8 years ago

Light gold. Fine tiny bubbles. Notes of citrus, fresh cut apples, white chalky stone, rising yeast and some apricot. At first very mellow but with air this explodes with fruit, acidity and structure. Additional notes of almond paste and green apples develop and a luscious creamy mousse comes on. The nose on this wine is powerful and memorable. — 4 years ago

REALLY feeling the French/Mexican theme at Madrina in Dallas, mostly cause of the equally insane agave & brandy selections. — 8 years ago
This N.V. "Grand Reserve" from grower-producer Jean Milan shows a fine bead of bubbles and mouth-watering acidity balanced by a subtle yeastiness that belies is 8 prior to bottling. — 9 years ago

The Tesseron family (currently the proprietors of St.-Estèphe’s Lafon-Rochet and Pauillac’s Pontet-Canet) made its fortune in the Cognac business, and it is one of the few families to possess ancient stocks of great vintages that have not been diluted with water or manipulated in any manner. They released small quantities of Lot 29 (1929), which remains the most ethereal Cognac I have ever tasted. I’m no expert, but their newest release, the 1953, seems close in quality to the 1929. Slightly darker than the 1929, the 1953 is pure silk, which at this alcohol level is very dangerous indeed. The complex aromatics can fill a room.
