NV. So easy to slide into. Approachable and clean with some hints of what beckons beyond this price range. 3.4.26. — 2 days ago

This comes out of the bottle fully charged up and swinging for the stands!
There is so much nose I wouldn't have pegged it as straight white Burgundy on nose alone - there's a feast under your nostrils of figs, ultra ripe bosc pears, caramel or maybe jaggery, hay or straw, and candied lemon peel 🍋
The texture is thick, regal and opulent.
A lingering finish that carries those straw, hay and lemon peel notes to the back of your mouth.

No ratings on this wine in a while it seems. The 2024 vintage is quite quaffable, although more tannin than I’d expect in a carbonic wine. Perhaps semi-carbonic, with some time on that 100% whole cluster following the carbonic maceration? A very enjoyable wine though, fruit forward as you’d expect from carbonic but with more structure and grip. Well made. — 17 days ago

I was unaware of this cuvée. This is only the 10th time it’s been released since its inauguration in 1982. Lots going on. Upon pouring, the bubbles disappeared quickly. A powerful nose of strawberry, cherries and florals yet I do not feel this was fully open.
In the mouth citrus like acidity. Builds in the mouth but in a restrained way. Very vinous. Creamy texture with layers of red fruit, toast and spice vacationing in your mouth. Deceptively elegant texture . — 8 hours ago
