Roses de Jeanne Côte de Val Vilaine Brut Blanc de Noirs Champagne Pinot Noir

Always and forever my favorite grower (that I have frequently enough). Here, his entry level bottle from 2014 vintage. Always single vineyard, single variety and single vintage. Wonderful intensity and really solid complexity. Baked pears and golden apples, spices and flowers. Finishes with very good length and depth. Never ceases to impress.

Showing much better than the last bottle. Laser focus, edgy, and chiseled. Salt, white flowers, white strawberry and peach on the nose. Palate is salty and pithy, crushed rocks and chalk with vibrant orchard fruit character. Some salty prosciutto in there. Incredible balance considering it's single varietal, vineyard, harvest Champagne with full native ferment, no dosage, and no wood. 100% PN, April 2016 disgorgement.

Great mineral refreshing!

Disgorged April 2014. Wonderful. Meaty. Savory. Fresh. Minerals. Yet delicate.

Best Champagne ever

Quite intense...electric. Beautiful Blanc de Noirs. Young vines planted in 07.

Corked!

Pop and pour. Same disg info as prev btl. and similar notes. Final btl, but given what these sell for now, I had a hard time popping this. Oh well, excellent, but I'm sad to be priced out (which means, emphatically not $200+/btl excellent).

Very nice dg. 4/16

And loved.
