A modern, slightly wild Chardonnay from northern Burgundy.
Ripe green apples, a bit of quince, a touch of nuts (macadamia) and a hint of verbena and some herbs. Keeps evolving in the glass. So pure & enticing.
On the palate this marries the slightly creamy Burgundy character (2/3 used oak, 1/3 amphorae) with clear, pure, juicy acidity and a wonderful mineral, saline touch. Nice depth and great purity here. With some wild edges and just a hint of funkiness.
This is utterly delicious. Fresh, pure, with depth, so interesting. Love it! — 3 months ago

Strong red berry and confectionary aroma. Sweet berry jam and a little berry coughdrop- garnished with herby phenols. Gamey with a nice tang, but missing the lingering, broad acidity of the best champagnes. — 5 years ago

This is magnificent. Nose is dried cherries, some lemon curd, stone fruit, a bit of bread. Interestingly the palate is very lively for 22 years. A bunch of bubbles, tastes of fresh cherry, flowers maybe even jasmine, oyster shell, I get a burnt meringue quality vs. bread. It’s evolving. — 4 years ago

19 years on the lees and time shows. Very very fine mousse, I’m not a texture guy for champagne but this one’s got it. Leesy notes of puff pastry and marzipan, a mix of oxidation and citrus on the nose. Palate is leaner than the nose suggests, but with enough focus from the still vibrant acidity. A cool experiment on great authentic character, good structure, but perhaps without the finesse of a tete de cuvée. At $159 hard to tell if it’s good value — a year ago

Nez de pommes, brioche et patisserie mais en finesse et modération tout la bouche avec des bulles assez fines et une belle fraîcheur, très bien pour le prix. 90-91

Nose of apples, pastry and brioche but with finesse and moderation just like the nice soft yet delicious palate, nice tight bubbles and good crisp acidity, great for the price. — 4 years ago
