My first experience here. 67meunier/ 25chard/ 8pinot. About a third of the wine is perpetual reserve going back to 1998. 2016 base, disgorged 2019. At the price, and based on style, first comparison that comes to mind is Mousse Fils L’Or Eugene. There is something magical that happens with meunier in how it transforms with reserve wine. So much brown spiced pear aromatics…savory honey and apple spice too. Where this differs from the Mousse Fils is that the mid palate is just a touch less rich/more bright (due to the Chardonnay component), but it adds a really cool profile to this champagne. The reserve wine makes an appearance toward the finish as it has a cider-like flair. Great fruit with a vein of acidity, a beautiful combo of bright/aged characteristics. Definite re-buy. Merry Christmas Eve!

Buttered orchid petal, fresh dough, with a very clean and chalky smell. Pristine mousse, with an incredibly delicate texture. Lemon custard, with an apricot sourdough liquor and toast with lime, that descends and gives the impression of weight for a moment only, before becoming ethereal.
