"The NV Extra-Brut Perpetual Reserve Lieu Dit La Croix Joly (2018 base), 100% old-vine Meunier, is a rich, layered Champagne. Here, the perpetual reserve seems to introduce a high-toned register to the aromatics, with hints of volatility and oxidative overtones that are pushed to the edge. But that's part of the joy. Tasting the Croix Joly is like driving a car too fast. This is exciting juice. No dosage. Disgorged: February, 2023."
