“The 2019 Champagne Premier Cru Millesime Or Brut pours a bright golden/yellow color and has a clean, elegant feel. It’s very fresh, with notes of pineapple, fresh candied pineapple, and hints of red berries underneath, offering lots of clarity and focus. Medium-bodied, it has tension, with elegant hints of creaminess and a stony texture that forms the backbone of the wine. (At a second tasting in New York, it also displayed a hint of warming spice, with nice, structured balance.) Refined and silky, it’s great now, but I think it will be even better with a bit more time ” it just has so much potential to cruise over the coming decades. Drink 2027-2045. A blend of equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they dont make this wine every year. Disgorged in October 2024 with 3 grams per liter dosage.”

“The 2019 Carte d’Or Premier Cru is laced with orange confit, tropical fruit, exotic white flowers, mint and sweet spice. This is an especially generous, almost flamboyant Champagne, and yet all the elements are very nicely balanced. Pretty floral top notes lift the finish. Disgorged: October 2024.”
