Hugely fruity nose. Ripe golden delicious apples and ripe pear. Maybe Bosc? Stunning saline and nimble minerals. You can really smell the Chardonnay and maybe that’s due to the warmth of the vintage. Oh my that is fine. So saline, incredible mousse and so elegant. Juicy and ripe and the brut nature character is almost invisible as the vintage was so ripe. Round, opulent and so graceful. Let’s see how it opens as there seems to be more under the surface. Not as focused as 16 or 17 but the sheer fruit intensity makes up for it. Outrageous concentration and explosiveness. — 7 months ago

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

Excellent value nonvintage blend. Everything you want - some yeast, some nice apple-y sour fruit, some great acid and completeness. Bubbles slightly pronounced. Nice. — 5 years ago

Terrific mineral driven and terroir driven rose. Nose has delicate citrus rind, mineral, mid season cherries. So beautiful. Palate is terrific and very long. Orange citrus, so juicy and refined. Amazingly pure wine. Elegant. So long. — 7 years ago

So good. This Muenier heavy blend is stunning. Bready, yeasty, brioche and mineral nose as well with faint raspberry fruitcake. Really aromatic. Palate is juicy and structured with terrific sap and purity. So clean and focused yet also wild, feral and fun. Wonderful. — 7 years ago

Wow. This is a delicious sparkling wine. It's Pinot Meunier and it's delightful. We chose this as the in the limo, toast before we say "I Do" wine. The fact sheet reports that the Pinot Meunier grapes are manually harvested from a 35-yo vineyard in Champagne, FR. It's produced using a slow 16° alcoholic fermentation, without malolactic fermentation, filtering, and clarification, then it spends 4 years in the cellars. They also use thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. All of this contributes to a not-overly bready/cakey taste, which I do not generally like. This is a really special wine that I can't wait to celebrate with! — 4 years ago

Loire Valley (100%) Pinot Noir. Bright garnet color with a ruby core. Bright dried cherry and strawberry aromas with hints of leather, minerals and purple flowers. Red berries dominate the palate with additional notes of baking spices and vanilla. Extremely earthy on the slightly sour finish. Really interesting. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 2 years ago

Wow. Bottle age made a nice difference. This could compete toe to toe with any producer from any region. Just a truly classic Riesling. Sharp, bright, pure. Nice petrol nose. Tons of acid and minerals, good fruit. Very long finish. — 6 years ago

Killer nose of creamy red fruits, palate is deep with minerals, mild acidity and ripe red fruits, all in a white wine. So lovely, oak aging does wonders for this grape.

Last time we had this bottle was in the cellar of C-L, no finer hosts. 100% Pinot Meunièr (2014 fruit), so technically a Blanc de Noirs. This bottle was sealed on 31 May 2015 and bottle number 199 of 1220 produced.

Relaxing by a fire in the chimenea tonight, our first frost was finally this morning. Nice and cool tonight, the warmth of the flames is satisfying. — 7 years ago
