Champagne

A

2018 - Very high yielding, low acid, fairly uncomplicated. Didier Gimmonet says NV from this vintage will be exceptional since high yields means ppl can just use first press.
2017 - Per PP, challenging year for red grapes, excellent year for Chardonnay.
2016 - Very good
2015 - Very good
2014 - Very good
2013 - extensive hail damage in Cote des Blancs, but otherwise good
2012 - very good, easy year.
2011 - some pyrazine character due to lady bugs! Plus, rainfall and heat at end of September forced many to pick early. Pierre Peters waited.
2010
