This left bank BDX is wonderful. Very grippy tannins, leathery and earthy but with some air giving away to layered red and dark fruit. Beautiful Cassis notes. Nice minerals. At $30, a really nice value. — a day ago

2010 vintage. Technically a Barsac, but sold as Sauternes ( Barsac being the only Sauternes commune allowed to do so). Much deeper, more evolved colour compared to the 2010 Guiraud (in half bottle!) tasted alongside. Intense perfume with wild apricot, roasted pineapple, and caramelised nuts. Richer than the Guiraud, this is a very impressive effort that is definitely of Cru Classé quality. Superb value too. — 2 years ago

This had one of the strangest noses I have had so far. It smelled like burning plastic. I have no idea as to why or what a professional would say, but that is the best I could come up with now. Luckily it drinks pretty nicely. — 8 years ago

Slightly deeper colour, with light lemon yellow core . Fine persistent perlage . Slightly more closed on the nose , with lemon oil , toasty roasted nuts , chalky hints. On the palate this is denser and more creamy , more toasty , with lemon hints and a chalky , limestone hint . Touch of bitterness with some saline hints . Good length . Nice now but will improve over the next few years , and last well a further 5 years or so . — 8 months ago

Dec 11, 2021 Saturday dinner w/ Jack D celebrating J2’s good news. This champagne was such a lovely surprise. Bright, crisp, citrus. Lots of complexity, and lots of fine bubbles. Good with food or alone. Wish I had more. First bottle purchase. — 4 years ago

2010 vintage ( half bottle). Looks fairly young, compared to Liot 2010 tasted alongside. But it suffers from the comparison in nose and taste. Less abundant and complex than both Liot 2010 and Guiraud 2009. Good, but not as good as expected. — 2 years ago

So much minerality and crushed sea shells, bright citrus fruit, anise, hint of orange rind/tang and crisp acidity. Killing it with homemade bbq shrimp tacos 🦐 🌮 — 7 years ago
