I generally don’t embrace this cuvée. Especially, at its price point. I’ll take Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Billecart St. Nicolas and few others before Cristal. But this 13 out of magnum shows promise.

Excellent with the Prosciutto & Melon. — 3 days ago

NV. Not too shabby for domestic bubbles and the price. Could do worse. 3.11.26. — a month ago

9.2

Light golden in color.

Strong nose of apples, citrus, pears, yeast, spices, light marzipan, brioche, minerals and white pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium sized bubbles, and medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with red and green apples, citrus, lemons, yeast, sea salt, limes, light earth, herbs and spices.

Long finish with limes and light marzipan notes.

This is a delicious Champagne. Fruit forward, elegant and complex. Nicely balanced and easy drinking.

Good right out of the bottle, spicy and entertaining.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 42% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 18% Pinot Meunier. Mostly from the 2018 vintage, with 30% from older vintages. Drank from a Magnum.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

Medium golden color. Right after opening, a honeycrisp apple, citrus, grapefruit and mineral notes on the nose and palate are evident. After some breathing, wine shows plenty of oxidative notes. It has a medium rich, creamy mouthfeel. First vintage to go through malo — a month ago

Nose is racy, deep citrus, orange zest, hint of Tang! Dusty pastry and frosting with cinnamon sprinkles. What a nose, showing better on day 2! Rich and deep, great balance, but still a little tight. Pleasant bitterness and grip that pushes this into serious rosé territory. — a month ago
