Pale yellow, muted nose….brisk acidity. It’s mellows on the palate and has a fantastic finish. Great with food — 4 months ago

Oh, this bottle has waited for the right moment. Initially, I planned to put it on some wine tasting but figured I must take it on our little sparkling party (where everyone brings their own bottle to share). Turned out to be a good idea.

Expressive and mineral bouquet. Lemon, wet stones, cream, Jerez. Complex, multilayered. Mineral profile with a long and flavourful aftertaste. Wet chalk in the finish. Beautiful stuff. There is a lot to discuss.

Bright straw yellow. Inviting nose of stony dried apple and citrus rind. Lean (with a touch of the rich) palate echoes the apple but leaves behind the citrus, replacing it with toasted fine white bread. Finish is moderately long and continues the palate. Excellent starter, but with enough heft for a main meal of seafood, pork, or poultry. Drink when you buy it. — 3 months ago

Pinot Blanc! Comparable to Cedric Bouchard’s La Bolorée. (La Bolorée is better but this was delicious) — 9 months ago

Valencia oranges. Punches way above its weight. Drinks like a grower champ.

When we talk purity and honesty in wine, Larmandier-Bernier instantly comes to mind. An attractive light golden robe and impressive perlage. The nose is instantly striking with plenty of green apple and butter. Lemon and limes along with marzipan. Chalky and fresh, this is one that you really should just sit with for a while and appreciate. The pastry aromas are absolutely killer here. The citrus fruit notes are really prominent over time. So pretty.

A biodynamic Blanc de Blancs from masters of their terroir. Stately and august while remaining approachable. It’s a wine you want to be effusive. Full of personality, charm, and complexity there’s such power and grace with this champagne. Brilliant acidity but there’s no way I would mark this as zero dosage if tasted blind. Laser like precision here. So classy and luxurious.

In the mouth, this is pure joy. Pure finesse and excellence. Terrific texture and balance. Citrus and slight toasted brioche notes. There’s a really nice streak of spice towards the end, especially on the second day. This champagne may not be right for everyone but it’s certainly right for me. I love this. — 4 years ago
