Intriguingly nutty, oxidized and FRESH! Tastes a bit like fall in a glass. Wonderful. Disgorged October 2013.

that's the bubbles I really love: fine, sharp, heart of citrus.. a clear-cut, quintessential Pinot Noir d'Ambonnay😍

A blend of Grand Cru wines from the greatest Champagne vintages of the past 15 years, including 2004, 2003, 2002, 1999, 1998, and several others back through the mid-1990s. Oak aging of the base wines and early 8 years aging on the lees in bottle gives this a depth and complexity to go with massive power - but also keeps it fantastically fresh and vibrant - a wine much elegant, floral with stone fruits touch, crispy mineral ton, saline and savory - a good Champagne

One of the better NV champagnes I've had. Very aromatic, layers of different flavors that reveal themselves throughout, some oxidation but in the "right" way where the freshness / acid is maintained, long finish. Excellent pairing with food, might be a touch too much going on as an aperitif. Had at Les Crayeres.
