A great bottle of one of my absolute favorites. Delicate, exquisitely perfumed and striking in every way. My last bottle... — 9 years ago

Sixth and last bottle and best of group. Effervescent and refreshing with some strawberry. — 9 years ago

Bright, clean, saline, terroir driven champagne. The fruit is so pure and perfectly ripe here that dosage is unnecessary. Sick value, too. — 10 years ago

In the space of a week - one bottle upon Mt. Etna the other one in Rome - I drank two different versions, both memorable, of Champagne A & J Beaufort: "Polisy Réserve Brut" and "Rosé".
Twice, for each wines, I perceived that same psychic vibration, an overwhelming feeling of spherical beauty-and-goodness. Let's imagine now these bottles as valves of an oyster in which some invisible raw material - it's only a matter of time - is deposited as calcium carbonate that crystallizes in "glass shell" (the bottles, right?) generating these true living Pearls of a champagne! — 10 years ago

Lovely expression of the Terroir in Champagne, this stripped version is bone dry with elevated acidity and bursting with tart lemony flavors and chalky minerals. — 11 years ago

Champagne Brut Nature, Blanc de Noir, Pas Dosé, 12%. No added sulfites.
Disgorged in 2013.
Bottle tasted in January 2015.
Golden yellow color, with persistent perlage.
Ethereal and evanescent, with scents of berries such as blackberry and blueberry.
Very crispy in the mouth, with great acidity and astringency, yet well balanced and elegant. — 11 years ago

usually I'm not a big fan of F, but I must admit that this magnum was simply phenomenal, the opulence from the wood so well integrated with the millions, crunchy, precious bubbles.. — 11 years ago

Decent bottle of champagne by Scottish New Year standards......not quite a gravelly mouth feel but super-brutish. Some toast, lemon and decent acidity.....definitely quaffable according to the old man, who claims not to be drinking but it is one ahead of me... — 9 years ago
