Yeasty and mineral nose with unreal depth and wispiness. Barely green apple. Palate is stunning and so pure. with such fine mousse and wonderful freshness, dry extract and length. Really just a gorgeous wine. Let’s see what air does. — 4 months ago

Love these still Pinots from Champagne. Nose has crunchy berry and cherry fruit. There is a lipstick like intensity to the wonderfully pure and pointed fruit. Mostly mid season cherries also some roses and lovely chalky background. Palate is vibrant and energetic with terrific clarity and energy and oodles of cherries. Super juicy with such great fruit and a charming rusticity. Interesting flinty and smokey aroma now peeking through. Lovely depth and tannins and such nice acidity. Terrific but I surmise more will come out with air. As it aired it got more texture and deep and so so supple. Wonderful. — 5 months ago

Nose: sweet roses.

Palate: delicious. Long. Really good. Perfect fruit. Nice balancing minerality . Some brioche as this opens. Pleasant hint of bitterness.

Terrific change of pace wine. Had with cucumber salad and pastrami salmon and a side of celery with blue cheese sauce.
