Very pretty. Harmonious. Elegant. Honeycomb, lanolin, preserved lemon, licorice root. Less acidic and more round than the 2016. Lovely. — 2 years ago
Le nez prend un peu de temps à se placer, nez assez classique de rive-gauche par la suite, ne montre aucune fatigue, superbe texture, une finale longue et savoureuse, très beau. 92-93
The nose needs some air, the cork was wet with some aromas of wet cardboard at first but things got for the better after with no apparent defect and a classic left bank nose. Gorgeous balanced Cos, not the most powerful at this point but gracious, showing no fatigue also with a long delicious finish.

Determined too gauche to ask for the bottle shot but not too gauche to perhaps be mistaken for transit Instagram activity. Oh well. Beautiful Pinot balance with a delicate floral / strawberry combo without too much dosage. 2004 is starting to be my go to 2000s and honestly for champs may prefer to 1990 garden variety at this point. — 3 years ago

50/50 Pinot Noir / Chardonnay blend disgorged Oct 2022. This a champagne where the grapes of the blend each had the opportunity to strut their stuff. Scents of almonds , croissant, baked apple and lemons put a smile on my face. On the palate berries show up to fight the citrus. Young , with the acid levels I like. If I had to bet, this is a champagne that will benefit from age and gain in complexity. — 23 days ago
