  Surprisingly delicious, not super refined. Dosage feels kinda rich, 80% Pinot noir in the blend is super fruity on the palate. But ultimately quite delicious.

  Sushi and Champagne at Billy's (Billy Sushi, Mpls, MN): Light gold color. Drank a glass over 30 minutes. Ginger, earthy, poached apple, apple tart, chalk, red fruits, nice depth. 91+ to 92pts.

  Brought to a dinner shared with friends. Lots of biscuit/yeast less peach, honey and chalk. Long finish with more tannins than I was expecting.

  Disgorged May-2021.
  
  Very autolytic nose with loads of pain grille, grilled peaches and smoke. Full-bodied, this is very rich and mouth-filling. So round with loads of honey-slathered apricot, peach, lemon/lime juice and toasted brioche. This is big and round and has probably benefitted from the extra time on cork but there's a streak of acidity and minerality on the finish that keeps this so lively with a good future ahead of it! I wonder if this would develop a 2006-like richness if kept for several more years. Drink now-2027 93

  Really enjoyed this bottle. Had with Tsar Nicholas sampler (4 pack) from Costco, but have had 5-6 bottles over the last 2 weeks. Relatively new to French bubbles, and if this isn’t excellent, I can’t wait to try the “really good stuff”. Did not enjoy the Grande Sendree as well as this one.
  
  Any suggestions for <$100??
