Loved this. With Jimmy and crew and ate some sautéed mushrooms (foraged by Nick) and sushi grade pickerel from Alex’s son’s store. Went beautifully. Nice citrus, hint of grapefruit, but not too sharp and no cats pee👍. — 4 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The NV Grand Vallée Extra Brut pours a straw color with a faint bronze tinge and persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh raspberries, strawberry, peach, lemon and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and packed with minerals. Quite lovely. Drink now. Disgorged Spring of 2023. — 20 days ago
