    May 5, 2024 - This was shockingly good, and exceeded my expectations. Notes of roasted almonds, crushed shells, freshly baked bread, and ripe white fruits. Medium to full bodied, with great balance, round texture, and great precision on the long finish.

    April 28, 2024 - PnP. Red apple aroma stepping to the fore now with distinct dairy, warm brioche & roasted nut profile. Remains structurally intact with lively acidity providing necessary lift to carry voluptuous fruit to long evenly distributed finish. Drinking beautifully now and appears to have the required energy to do so for the foreseeable future.

    March 1, 2024 - A goodbye toast to my mother in law and this champagne was worthy of her spirit. Full of life beyond its years, fresh and vibrant, compexity of flavor, interesting, smooth and long finish.

    December 24, 2023 - Dunkles Goldgelb, Kupferreflexe, sehr feine und nachhaltige Perlage, optisch schon ein Fest!
    Brioche, Bratapfel und Mandeln in der Nase, ein grossartiger Duft.
    Am Gaumen druckvolle Frucht, wieder Apfel, auch etwas Exotisches, komme aber auf keine genau definierte Frucht, tolle Mineralik, auch klingen rote Früchte im Abgang nach. Tolle Komplexität und Frische, ein Zug wie ein Jungwein! Ganz grossartig!

    December 23, 2023 - Uppesittarkväll är champagnekväll!

    Efter en härlig långlunch med vänner på Ma Cuisine här i Gbg blev det kalte platte, bubbel och borttappade förenings-bingolotter hemmavid.

    Trots att det är 2/3 chardonnay och endast 1/3 pinot noir är de röda äpplena där tillsammans med dulce de leche och en krispig syra. Gyllengul i färgen. En del citrus och lätta tertiära toner, denna flarran skulle kunna ha ett långt liv framför sig givet syran och frukten. Men icke, den gick alldeles för lätt ner. Magnifikt vin. Sorry, but not sorry (ok, möjligtvis för att det var sista flarran i lådan då).

    God Jul, hörrni!

    August 5, 2023 - Quite advanced after opening with lots of tertiary notes, some cooked butter elements. It blew off more and more but my last bottles were much better and fresher. The palate was crisp and fresh still. May be not the best bottle.
