Slightly lighter garnet core , lighter terracotta rim . Quite muted on the nose , quite herbal and spiced notes, some red plum and floral sous bois , black tea . After a while this opens up slightly , showing a bit more detail , but never jumps out and grabs your attention as other bottles have. On the palate this is better , with the roundness and slightly sweet , red plum , summer fruits , sous bois and lightly herbal , grafite tinged , saline finish of reasonable length . Quite refreshing acidity and suave tannins . On this basis drink now and over the next few years. However , there are better bottles out there . This was disappointing compared with other bottles I’ve had , though the palate was more sound and it wasn’t flawed. A bit of a perplexing bottle. — 13 hours ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. No formal notes. The 2012 is a lovely, rich, autolytic and toasty example of Champagne with good character and typicity. True to house style. Drink now through 2037. — 4 months ago

Nice experience but not worth the money. Strong initial funk that eventually gave way to some fruit. Silky mouth feel but so many better wines for less money. — 2 months ago

So deep and focused. Dense and feminine. in the mouth has good structure, never sharp or edgy.
Very accessible and lean.
Just missing that little bit of extra length in the aftertaste to reach a full 96.
But overall great, precise and beautiful wine.

Popped and poured into red Solo cups. The 2012 “Grands Terroirs” pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, this is intensely autolytic with notes of fresh, toasted brioche, baked apple, raspberry, lemon curd and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. From magnum. Drink now through 2037. Disgorged June 2021. — 2 months ago

This wine is drinking really well. Nice and juicy but still has nice tannin structure on the finish! — 3 months ago
