One of three bottles of bubbly (2014 Ultramarine BdN and 2010 Larmandier-Bernier VV du Levant) opened when a good friend, @Shawn R , was in town. EO is one of my favorite champagne producers, but this was actually my first experience with the rosé.
5yrs on the lees, disgorged mid 2019. Slightly orange pink in the glass. Initially, it was very razor sharp and intense. Jasmine, orange zest, and dried apricots on the nose. On the palate, the intensity picked up with a strong backbone of limestone, chalk, tangerine and some honeysuckle. When this paired with food, it showed its true colors with a touch more body and richness. Even more impressive was how much better this was on day two...likely a champagne that could benefit from a decant at this age. Much more creamy and showing more red Berry fruit like raspberries, rhubarb and also a little floral. Yeast driven notes didn’t appear until day two. Complex, intense and lots of potential. — 4 years ago
What a wonderful wine. Nose: lemon & ginger scone. Palate: lemon, tangerine, lemon pound cake, powdered sugar, papaya, mango pit. Happy 11 years! #thewinewasgood — 7 months ago

Wow. Brambly, crunchy, blackberries, clean, linear and expansive…. Subtle effervescence that held throughout the bottle. Buy all of them if you come across. It’s one of those bottles you ask, what else can you give? A very much perfect bottle but I can’t give 100 for some reason. — 2 years ago
An indigenous variety to the levant area in Israel.
A clear watery color, fresh nose, very balanced and pure on its palate. Mineral, crisp. — 3 years ago
A beautiful well balanced complex rich but light claret. — 4 years ago
