The nose shows tangerine, thinned yellow peach, golden/red apples, lemon/lime pulp with a hint of zest, pear, whiff of lemon meringue pie, ginger-ale, graham cracker crust, baguette crust, caramel notes, silvered almonds, some light brioche, pink roses & yellow flowers.

The palate entry is beautiful, ripe, rich with lively crisp acidity at first and softens in the glass. Some light oxidative presense. Tangerine, some marmalade yellow peach, golden/red apples, lemon/lime pulp with a hints of zest, pear, lemon meringue to custard, ginger-ale, graham cracker crust, baguette crust, yeasty bread dough, vanilla, caramel notes, silvered almonds, some light brioche, beautiful, soft, chalk/sea fossil powder, crisp, grey volcanic minerals, pink roses & yellow flowers. It is extremely well made, balance for days with an elegant softy rich finish that last nearly two-minutes and lands on soft earth & minerals.

Disgorged 7/25, 2g making it really a Nature. 36 months on lees.

Delectable took a powder while trying to post the rose’. Surprising huh. So..,post notes.

The palate had nice strawberries, cherries, raspberries & some light blackberries. Nice chalk, sea fossils, baguette, pink roses and excellent, crisp acidity and an elegant, well balanced minute long finish.

This just didn’t stand out as anything special considering the price point. For me, their slightly oxidative style just doesn’t play out that well with Rosé the same way as their other cuvées do. I’ll take the Billecart Salmon Rose and a few others for less.

This was a beautiful color in the glass. Opened up over a few hours. Fruit, bread, saline, so complex. Every sip evolved. I am continually surprised that this winery lives up to hype. — 3 months ago

2018 base. Medium gold at this point. A medium mousse and good bubble persistence. The pronounced nose is sweet citrus and apples, subtle biscuit, plenty of chalk and some saline. The palate is med/med+ bodied, med+ acidity, tiny and persistent bubbles on the palate, pronounced, long, and dense on the finish. For the class and type of Champagne (house intro blend) this is outstanding! — 3 months ago
