Wonder bread toasted. Apple and pear. Maybe not baked. But maybe. Super balanced. This is the bomb. So much better than regular brut. 2015 — 17 days ago

They poured this from magnum at last years at Pebble Beach Food & Wine- From The Cellar Event. I have never much cared for their Yellow Label or La Grande Dame. But this vintage anniversary cuvée is quite nice. Perhaps, the only offering I’ve had from them and truly enjoyed. Pouring at the event was their Winemaker-Marie Charlemagne. — 7 months ago

保存状態に不安があったが、流石の’96
多めのドサージュ(多分)と熟成によって、程よいキャラメル感が出ていて美味しかった。発泡はかなり弱目。 — 9 hours ago

Not as bad as I remember it. It’s been a while though.

Slightly, bruised pear & red & green apple, lime zest, lemon pulp, some ginger white spice w/ a touch of heat, limestone mixed in volcanic minerals, crisp chalkiness, sea spray, yeasty bread dough, yellow & white spring flowers, lively acidity and a balanced & nicely polished elegant finish that last 45 seconds and lands on volcanics.
