An Outstanding Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2016 vintage champagne from Mailly in Reims. Zesty and zingy and compelling acidly, super balanced, slightly but beautifully yeasty. Potentially to age another +10 years. Fine bubbles and very elegant and crazy smooth. — a month ago

Use to be my fav until having Mailly Grand Cru. It's an unfair comparison, as these two are very different champagnes. I enjoy Moet and appreciate the full flavor and sharp taste. However I'm not sure this will remain my go to. — 3 years ago

Excellent! Clearly Chardonnay, lemon curd, almonds, a berry cream. Palate is big and then ends with a cleansing finish of tart apple, citrus, and saline. So balanced. I really can’t see many people complaining about this one. — 3 years ago

Odd packaging but good juice. Vintage blanc de Noir with quite an intense bubble and a long savory finish showing barrel influence and faint nuttiness. — 2 months ago

Killer Champagne! 50/50 blend of Chardonnay from Taissy and Pinot Noir out of Mailly. Dégorgement 07/21. 9 years old, bit oxi but also very fresh. On the nose a bit of port, raspberry yoghurt / danoontje, almonds, lemonrind and great minerality. — 5 months ago

This 2000 spent an incredible 15 years on lees. Bottled in 2017. This cuvée is roughly 2/3 Pinot Noir and 1/3 Chardonnay. Pinot Noir is from the Montagne de Reims - Mailly, Cumières and Vertus. 35% Chardonnay in from the Côte des Blancs (the best region for Chardonnay)- Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize, Vertus. 10% oak.

The body is thick, heavy and creamy with that much time on lees. The fruit has settled and the complexity has arrived. Bruised apple & pear, a touch of apple cider, pineapple if it were an oil, an array of soft citrus- lemon, lime, orange peel, tangerine, ripe, juicy, yellow peach, some blackberries, marmalade, meringue, cream, malt, some caramel notes, brioche, baguette crust, sea fossils & spray, limestone marl, fine powdery chalkiness w/ speckles of grain, white spice-ginger, withering yellow flowers, excellent acidity, well knitted, perfect tension, balance and a long finish that lasts minutes. — a year ago
