This N.V. "Grand Reserve" from grower-producer Jean Milan shows a fine bead of bubbles and mouth-watering acidity balanced by a subtle yeastiness that belies is 8 prior to bottling.

2023 New Year. Lovely, with notes of toasty maturity. I need to find some more…

2021/8/7 with Regalo delivery. (No bottle code visible.) This has become a favorite blanc de blancs with some maturity. With a little air, this opens to reveal lots of creamy, lemony fairy, pastry, and caramel. There’s plenty of acidity and minerality to keep things I focus too.

2021/3. Quite consistent with the other bottle I purchased at the same time - rich burnished blanc de blancs goodness. I ordered more.

2021/2/27 with birthday delivery from Joel Robuchon. I hadn’t had this in years, and while I remember liking it before, it was wonderful this time around. The caramel and hazelnut is reminiscent of mature Champagne, but there’s still freshness and minerality.

Oh my! Cheers! It's a blend of 2006/2007. Layers of fruit with rich texture!
