👌🏻Very natural — 4 years ago
On a cold night at the summer cottage. Took some time to open up and reveal itself. Going from white fruit such as apple and pear to start with to more buttery and honey aromas. The palate after that early muteness revealed itself brilliantly with nice backbone and structure, some richness and purity of fruit, with a long delicious mouth watering finish. Really good and very classy.
Par un soir gris et froid au chalet. A pris un peu de temps à s’ouvrir au nez comme en bouche mais a su ratrapper le temps perdu. Passant de la pomme et de la poire à un côté plus miellé et beurré avec le temps. La bouche au départ fermée et peu expressive a su se révéler avec une acidité et une belle droiture de corps, tout en ayant une richesse et une classe indéniable, sur une longueur intéressante et salivante. Vraiment très bon. — 4 years ago
And now for something quite different. A champagne rebel and man of his own time and mind, Charles Dufour is producing some extraordinary wines. And they live up to the hype. A nice mild amber color with lazy, small bubbles. The nose is rather intense with a nice bit of nutmeg up front. Plenty of citrus fruit that never overwhelms but is certainly enveloping. Woodsmoke and wood, red apples, and just a little honey.
As natural as natural wine gets. Organic, hand picked, herbicide free. This most certainly tastes natural, in the best way possible. 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and an added 10% of Pinot Blanc. From beautiful Côte des Bar terroir and aged for two years on lees. 80% of the wine comes from the 2018 harvest with the remaining 20% coming from a perpetual reserve dating back to 2010. With an extra brut dosage of 3 g/l, there’s rather zippy acidity and innate purity here.
This really is one of those bottles that unique and highly, highly expressive. Very nuanced with outrageous complexity. The palate is fantastic with apples and a bit of cinnamon to boot. Every sip screams natural and terroir driven. Special, special stuff. Unique and gorgeous. — 3 years ago
One of the most uniques champagnes I’ve ever had. Baked cinnamon apple pie comes to mind when tasting. Highly recommended. — 4 years ago
Very pleasant nose of white fruit, some honey and buttery notes with a touch of flowers. The palate is so nice, delicious with a nice tension that balances the richness and roundness of the 2015 vintage, a nice long finish with a touch of high alcohol though it seems. 91-92
Nez agréable sur les fruits blancs et le melon, miel et une touche beurrée et floral. La bouche est belle et savoureuse, bonne acidité appuyée qui supporte le rondeur et la richesse du millésime, une belle longue finale ou je perçois une pointe de chaleur par contre. 91-92 — 4 years ago

Smells like red apples in an orchard, the slightest hint of hay and wood. Pear and raspberry on the nose too. Palate is so complex and there is more apples and pear, some red raspberry cream, then there’s like a krug type full bodied change to honey covered citrus and a bit of wood. Love it!!! — 9 months ago
