Jura FTW again! Man, this producer is fast becoming one of my favorites. Complexity here is off the charts: granite, cherry, cranberry, mushroom, dried herbs, eucalyptus, and more. Light and smooth, low tannins, it still packs a big flavor punch. Cherry cola, orange peel, lots of pepper. Heck yeah. — a year ago

Classical style between Bordeaux (cab-sauvignon Merlot , oak) and Rhône by its alcoholic side and the presence of Syrah.The colour is dense, dark, and a beautiful viscosity. Nose offers its share of ripe black fruits, spices, scrubland. Volume, concentration and intensity. 2015 is ready to drink; the ardour of youth finding balance today in a wine that has enough to age for several years in the cellar. 🇲🇦

Un vin classique entre Bordelais (cépages, notes de fût) et Rhône-sud par son côté alcooleux et la présence de Syrah. La robe est dense, sombre, et une belle viscosité. Le nez offre son lot de fruits noirs mûrs, épices, garrigue. Du volume en bouche.
2015 est assoupli et prêt à boire. L’ardeur de jeunesse trouvant aujourd’hui son équilibre. Un vin qui a de quoi vieillir plusieurs années en cave.🇲🇦 — 4 years ago

Would not have expected this to age this well but nice loamy soil tones to complement the tart red fruit — 3 months ago

The Ariston Aspasie Cépages d'Antan is a blend of one grape that is nearly extinct in Champagne, Petit Meslier and two rare grapes that get blended into Champagne. It parses into 40% Petit Meslier, 40% Arbanne, and 20% Pinot Blanc. None of the three main grapes; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier

Crazy good body and super soft mouthfeel. There is soft precision in the palate. Excellent micro oxygenation. Shades of the 2007 Taittinger Comte’s. Leads with the white citruses.- lime, lemon, grapefruit, kiwi, some pineapple juice, tropical green melon, what softer than soft powdery chalkiness, limestone, volcanics just as soft, spring flowers for days, perfect acidy and a purely beautifully balanced, knitted, length that has length and a singing finish that goes on and on. @ K&L Champagne tasting. — a year ago

Medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with yeasty notes, blend of six varietals with Petit Arbanne and Petit Meslier included. On the palate flavors of ripe apple and pear with lemon citrus zest and bread notes. Fine bubbles, light mousse, medium finish ending with fruit, citrus and yeasty biscuit character. Pair this aged Champagne with a shrimp or lobster salad. — 2 years ago

Tasted blind, 4 wines, 3 varietals. The 3 of us had the same ranking in terms if the wines, this one came in no 1 for all of us. Expressive typical Chard nose of lemon, touch of butter, slight oak but nothing disturbing, nice acidity, tense and saline, mineral, just enough roundness to make it a good balance, excellent and great level for a St-Romain. 90-91

Dégustation à l’aveugle, 4 vins pour 3 cépages afin de trouver le cépage. Tout le monde a eu le même classement sur les 4 vins, No 1 pour les 3 dégustateurs. Un nez typé Chardo, assez expressif, citron, touche boisée, tendu et salin, minéral avec juste assez de rondeur et richesse, quel bel équilibre, très beau niveau. 90-91
