A producer I’ve been enjoying for a few years, this was actually my first time with the Extra Brut. I’m scoring this the same as the Ultradition Brut, even though there are differences. Not as yeasty/toasty, nor as heavy on the mid palate, this seems like a “lite” version, with riper fruit yet more pure fruit expression. I was surprised to see this had 4.5g/l for the dosage as it seems much racier than that (in a good way). 60 meunier, 30 Chardonnay, 10 Pinot noir. Disgorged 11/2021. Young, but I love meunier when it is balanced by either reserve wine or ripe fruit. Caramel dipped green apple, grilled lemon, kiss of ginger. Not reductive nor oxidative, but a down the middle style for grower champagne. Delicious.

Notes for 2019 Disgorgement - lovely biodynamic champagne, this blend is primarily Munier and it shows very aromatic fresh red and purple berries, some bready, yeasty notes, and lots of minerality. Great intensity and length. So glad I was able to get a 6-pack of this for only $30 a bottle. Looking forward to seeing how things develop over the next few years.

Very nice. I like the rose better. Disgorged 7-2021. Nose is tart apples, lemons, raw almonds. Palate is tart with apples, pears, passion fruit, marzipan, hint of brioche, brine. Overall very good.
