NV Cuvee Julie
Now all ’05, and very much back in form after the rather oaky ’04. Disgorged 1/10, and
more homogenous than the more complex Laetitia; a generous feet-on-the-ground
mouth-filling Champagne, no sign of the ’05 “issue” but loads of generous easy
strength. Saturated, satisfying, easy to “get.”

Tasting Notes
I actually quite like this because it’s delicious and it’s relatively rare to obtain this much complexity and flat out superb length in a toasty package. - Burghound Spice and whole-grain toast notes augment grapefruit, candied berry and mineral in this supple yet firm Champagne, which is vinous and complex, with a lot of character packed into its racy profile. Best from 2011 through 2016.—B.S. - Spectator, 92
