big airy and intensely mineral nose, smells just so mineral and maybe some cherry fruit, 40 pinot, 20 meunier, 40 chardonnay, 18/17/16 blend. Huge fruits on nose after initial blast of mineral. Very fine and red fruits and not screechy and at all, big pinot fruit, Such fine bubbles and mousse, so so elegant and complex. Insane mousse.

Happy Friday Everyone! It's finally cooled off in the Berkshires (for a night or two), in the mid-70's now. We're sitting outside relaxing and regaling a week gone by so we can enjoy this beautiful bottle. No new notes tonight, prior still describe my enthusiasm here. Just great juice!

Jul 31st, 2020What a nose. Super yeasty and expansive aromas with tons of mineral precision. Some taut green Apple and some lean cherries as well. Super expressive and grippy palate with lovely small berry flavor intensity and such purity. Super fresh and biscuity finish that is super long. Wonderful finesse and good power but wrapped in elegance. Clearly defined fruit and dazzling purity on the finish. This is best bottle yet.

Oct 20th, 2019Domestic chores day, so just now getting to the relaxing part of the afternoon, finally.
I'm believing this is a Pinot Meunièr dominant wine. Color is a deep straw yellow. Nose is sugar roasted nuts and fresh yellow cherry (I just bought a sizeable bag yesterday and already ate half!). Palate is perplexing, this is zero dosage but it's damn sweet, wow this fruit!!! Lingering saline/mineral note on the wicked finish, this is a fine bottle. New nose and palate notes are revealing with air and warming.
