#AgedWineTuesday
Light yellow in color.
Strong nose of apples, yeast, spices, bread, minerals and sea salt.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity, and medium plus sized bubbles.
Dry on the palate with citrus, apples, pears, light earth, yeast, vegetables, spices and bitter herbs.
Nice finish with limes and almonds.
This 13 year old Vintage Champagne feels young and needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly.
Rich and extracted with lots of bread notes. Elegant and robust.
Showing nice complexity, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Paired beautifully with fresh oysters.
A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Disgorged in 2020.
12% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

Fresh, nice citrus. Leave to air a bit — a month ago
Pop and pour (practically) — can’t be helped.
NOSE: something savory, blackberry, and a little violet. Mild clove. A little clay. Something…Mexican?
TASTE: juicy, purple cassis and clay. Fresh and tasty. The kind of wine I like, basically. Blueberry pie after air. 93.

Wine pairing omakase at Sushi Kuraku — 2 months ago
Along with Egly-Ouriet, simply the best entry-level grower champ on the market (IMO). This is 70% base vintage, and 30% reserve wines. Blend is 33/33/33% Pinot/Chard/Meunière. 30+ months on lees… damn delicious. Disgorgement: June 2023 / Dosage: 6 gr/l — 3 months ago
Nose : slight oxidation.
Palate: mineral and acidic. Get some lemon fruit as it opens. Some almond. — 4 months ago
Straw color, classic champagne notes in nose, brioche yeasty, good acidity to balance some richness, dry — 5 months ago
A wonderful start to dinner. Chalky bright with notes of apricot — a month ago
Very nice! Drinking the 2018 in 2025. Yeasty bouquet with hints of mushroom. Very smooth finish. Very nice champagne! — 3 months ago
Delicious. Medium tannins, fading to oak. Opened this for a dinner party which was unfortunately cut short, leading to it lingering over the next few days. By day 3, tannins and acidity on the rise. Still, a remarkably good vintage. — 4 months ago
This is a great champagne. Not too sweet and very light. Will definitely be buying more — 4 months ago
