Beautifully golden in the glass with vigorous effervescence. Crisp and inviting immediately. You can easily tell this will be a stunning wine. Citrus notes are dominant on the nose with lemon zest and white peaches. Almonds and dried herbs with a touch of warm brioche. Wet rocks, pears, apples, and a hint of nutmeg. Gorgeous.
Full bodied and intense, this is a superb champagne just now beginning to come into its own. Bright acidity and well balanced, there’s depth and complexity for days. The mouthfeel is nice and the attack sensual. More citrus and brioche on the palate with a plethora of apples. The finish is long and strong. Pure delight in a bottle. — 3 months ago

Happy bday to my wonderful wife! This was excellent. Lime and green apple, so fresh and bright, brioche with a tiny bit of pepper. Great bubbles and texture. Love the paper case. — 2 months ago

2004 vintage. This was a highlight reel. Acidity, dirty, pretty, fabulous mousse, delicate, concentrated, fruit, long finish. It had it all at some point in the tasting experience. Looks to go long in this state…at least another 7-8 years (till 2033) without any noticeable dropoff. Can’t remember the last time I had a better rosé brut. Magical. 03.01.25. — 2 days ago
