Bang for the buck. Regal stuff.
Ps for money this was better than bereche and savart on the same day. It’s classic, less vinous and just true to roots. For $40 it’s unreal. — 3 years ago

Deep, rich and powerful, 2018 Mont des Chretiens is excellent tonight, after a little youthful reduction, it offers layers of orchard fruit, curry leaf, creme de patisserie and baking spice with a creamy full bodied palate that concludes with a saline and mineral laced finale. Love this Cuvée. — a year ago

After having Savart’s “Expression” 4 months ago I was excited to try this. Hints of oxidation,nuts and apples combine in a very accessible mixture. Where I was disappointed was in the lack of intense acidity and complexity. Not as vinous as I had hoped for. — 2 years ago

Michel Fallon was once the cellar master at Jacques Selosse. He started making wines since 2000 in Selosse's cellar and makes approximately 800-900 bottles a year. This was quite like Bereche or Savart on the nose with crisp green apples and citrus. This eventually gave way to some oxidative notes but certainly not to the extent of Krug or Selosse. Saline, minerally, and chalky on the palate. The bubbles did not last for the entirety of the meal and apparently this suggests that the wine is a grower and not a house. I have yet to figure out why. The biggest clue was the finish. While the nose was alluring, the finish was rather short after a hour into dinner. Surprised to learn that was was a Blanc de Blanc as it displayed a few Pinot characteristics. Lovely wine but I'll stick to my Savart's. — 6 years ago

Stunning. Shares a underripe fruit complexity that's similar to the likes of Bouchard, Savart, and Prevost. Long, powerful finish. This will be fought after soon enough. — 6 years ago

100% Pinot Noir from some of the best plots that previously would make it into the L'Ouverture bottling. Very good but shows a little bruised. — a year ago

The word that comes to mind immediately is purity. One of the most pure, most honest champagnes I’ve tasted. Light yellow gold with effusive perlage. A sultry stream of bubbles and wonderful creaminess. The nose is a bit shy upon opening with a little apple, a little toffee, and a little mint. Soon the wine begins to truly blossom with fresh nectarines and subtle apricot. The brioche aromas are stately and buttered. Exquisite and exciting.

A collaboration between Dremont and Frederic Savart, very limited production with only 2512 bottles. With a dosage of only 2 grams, the acidity is quite high and zippy. Absolutely amazing purity and the terroir is positively shrieking here. A Blanc de Blancs from the Grand Cru villages of Avize and Oger and you can definitely feel that. Medium weight but is rich and feels substantial. This feels a bit like an event. Despite being primarily an entry level or a bit of a step above, this has real weight and substance to it.

The palate showcases whispers of what this could really be down the road. Really nice mouthfeel but a bit volatile at times. Plenty of pretty peaches and salinity. Pure Chardonnay characteristics of chalk and citrus abound here. Medium finish with the faint ghost of spice. This is really enjoyable today but try to hold it for a few years, if you can. — 2 years ago
