Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Maybe slightly better on Day 2 under a muzzle. The “Le Pucelles” pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of ripe and tart fruit: green apple, wild strawberry, raspberry, Meyer lemon, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry and the acid is high. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Looking back at my previous notes for this wine from the same disgorgement, the fruit set has shifted a little but I’m no less impressed. The quality of the fruit is tremendous and the minerals dazzle. A dense Champagne and yet it never feels heavy. The cut and precision is undeniable. Drink now through 2036. Disgorged in October of 2022. Thank you @Lyle Fass for the assist! — 10 hours ago

Litt tørr. Fyldig smak preget av fat, bær og røyk/tobakk. Hint av syrlighet. Kjempegod. Nydelig farge. — 3 years ago

Dyp, lilla farge. Merket plutselig at det er lenge siden jeg har drukket en ordentlig dyp og fyldig vin. Flashbacks til Prime Steak House-tider. Frisk, fyldig, ingen bitter ettersmak. — 2 years ago

Very rich and complex nose followed by a complex, long, but somewhat oxidized palate. Its really good but we would have preferred a fresher and more classical approach. We have other bottles and will keep track. — 3 years ago

Delicious. A medium bodied, lifted Syrah. Very nice acids buoying the bloody, minerally flavors along. Tannins largely resolved. — 8 months ago

Nose is a bit more broad and less focused, smokey and brioche and yeast and bread, so fine and very dry and mineral, also the earthiest one. So pure and so sappy. Clean and fresh. Not too complex but so well made and fine mousse, juicy and invigorating and sapid and lots of fruit skins. Classic and champagne for parties. — 2 years ago

Every good home should have a few…

…yeasty buttered popcorn nose, lovely fragrance, more buttery richness on the palate tempered by acid & minerality. Lovely. — 3 years ago
