Poured a little bit darker colored amber than I was expecting. Slight golden color to this one. The nose on this bottle is definitely more of a mango and peach. Entry with a nutty influence, mango, peach, melon influence as far as fruit goes. Definitely not on the acidic side. Bubbles do not appear to be microscopic...or large for that matter. Just....nice. I honestly think this one needs to sit another few years. — 8 years ago

I love it when a plan comes together! This 2008 was a highlight of my March trip to Champagne. This bottle is composed of 96% Chardonnay and 4% Pinot Noir from Bethon, one of the chalkiest terroirs in the Sézanne. The wine has the bright, mineral cut that one expects from fancy Chardonnay in a high acid vintage, but also some great weight and texture. I think this will age very well, the 1988 I drank earlier this year sure was fresh! — 9 years ago

Graciously gifted to Holly and I by Pierre and Mathilde Demets. Popped and enjoyed directly from the bottle, on the streets of Paris, in celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary. “Intransigeance” is a fabulous cuvée made from a combination of selected fruit from both “La Forêt” in Gŷe-sur-Seine and “Fins” in Neuville-sur-Seine; 67% Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay. No formal notes due to the setting but I can confidently state that the 2018 vintage is utterly delicious. We laughed and reveled as we took pulls under the Eiffel Tower and walked to lunch through the 7th and 6th. We had a blast. Disgorged July 6, 2023. Only 7306 bottles made. We need more Intransigeance, please @Lyle Fass ! — 7 months ago

So fresh and juicy with a lovely herbal note. One of the best valued wines I've had from LCBO in a long time. If I had a "house wine," this might be it — 10 years ago
