Disgorged Dec'17. — 7 years ago
An odd sparkler to say the least. While the disgorgement date is not on the bottle, from Terry Thiese notes this spent somewhere around 5 years on the lees. The appearance is dark, closer in color to a young Burgundy than any sparkling Rose. The nose shows notes of deep earth, black cherries, and yeast. The plate is full-bodied with big, bracing acidity and soft, creamy bubbles. Flavors of macerated cherries and plums lead to dark, earthy flavors, baking spice, touches of oak, and a little funky brioche. The finish shows some dusty tannins along with lingering bright acidity along with lingering tiny bubbles. A very cool food friendly bottle of bubbles. — 7 years ago
Эстрагон, лукум, ряженка, благовония, луковая шелуха, слива, малина, костяника, вишнёвый сок, в послевкусии подсохший мёд. Вначале немного сумбурно и неопределенно, со временем находит красивую внутреннюю гармонию. Тонкая летучка, средне-лёгкое тело, мягкие танины, свежая кислотность. Молодо, открыто, беззаботно, но не глупо, с интересной фактурой. Там где недостает воспитанной элегантности, берет непринуждённой естественной грациозностью движений. — 8 years ago

Solid premier cru champagne from Bouzy. Quite middle of the stylistic road - as in, not overly precise and linear or yeasty and round. Nice. — 6 years ago

Excellent slatey minerality. Sweet red apple. A very Pinot Champs. Palette is full and sweet. Dosage evident. Maybe would integrate a bit more win age. Or just enjoy now. — 8 years ago

A spectacular ratafia. Gently sweet with beautiful richness and wonderful depth without any heat from the fine de Bourgogne. — 6 years ago
