Blend of Chardonnay (55%) and Pinot Noir (45%). Pale gold color. Aromas of freshly baked bread, toasted nuts, white flowers, citrus zest and a chalky/smoky note. Flavors of grapefruit, green apple, tropical fruits, roasted nuts, and a lovely note of brioche. Long and lingering mineral driven finish. Vibrant acidity along with wonderful tension and complexity. Creamy mousse and texture with a steady stream of fine bubbles. So beautifully savory. Thank you Jason B. for sharing this beautiful wine (and storing it so well) to toast Matt A’s 50th Birthday! — 2 days ago

My favorite 08 for current drinking when comparing to the Dom & Cristal that I had recently. Rich & intense with a creamy texture, citrus, pear, apple, mineral & pastry dough. — 5 years ago

And then you stay for dinner. This needed a lot of air to open up. Nice, but not worth the price tag — 9 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2013 pours a deep garnet with an opaque core and a rusty brown rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and significant sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with desiccated dark fruit, salmiakki, leather, espresso, and a Maillard reaction thing. On the palate, the wine is dry it’s high tannin and medium acid at best…probably medium-. The finish is medium. Drink now. — 8 months ago

Certainly a very good vintage. Just never overly embraced Dom. But this is nice, beautiful in fact.

The entry is soft & even subtle. Lemon pulp, lime pulp w/ some zest, orange citrus blend, just ripe pineapple flesh, mango, green tropical melon, under ripe cantaloupe, whipped cream, soft/light white spice, sea spray, excellent, crumbled to powdery, dry chalkiness, lightly yeasty, bread dough to baguette crust, grey volcanics, limestone, hints of fresh & dry herbs, yellow lilies, spring flower & jasmine, excellent, soft acidity with a well balanced, gentle structure & tensioned, superbly elegant & smartly polished finish that lasts 90 seconds and land on fruit and gentle volcanics.

Soft and supple in the palate. Plush fruit. Yellow apple, hints of orchard fruit, a touch of saline and mellow stone. Very refined and detailed acidity. Excellent — 17 days ago

Bit of a champagne binge this weekend! 🙄😬
We love Ruinart Blanc de Blanc so was easy to go for this 2010 vintage, which did not disappoint.

Brilliant. This is Strawberry Fields Forever played in bubbles with a hint florals and lemon zest. The P2 rosés are rare and always a good find. — a year ago
