Millésimé Brut Champagne Blend 2015

DCH
9.3

A treat of a vintage bottling and a bit of a steal at $60. More focused than NV bottlings I’m more accustomed to. Less busy, more naturally balanced letting a bit of complexity shine through. Nothing life changing, but you can spend a lot more on less impressive Champagne. From the bottle shop at Bern’s. — 2 months ago

Drank with a farmer in Kenya, his eyes lit up. We are talking smallholder value. Perfect bottle for the moment. — 9 months ago

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

My first experience with this producer. Popped and poured. A sort of pink salmon color with persistent mousse. Delicate red fruit and lightly toasted bread with strawberry jam on the nose. On the palate, peaches and raspberry. There’s good acid. The finish is dry and long. Great value. No disgorgement data. — 4 years ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

A fantastic bottle of Brunello we had in Florence. Deep red and full bodied. Great depths of flavor, cherry, vanilla, tobacco, and lightly floral. — 6 months ago

Brut Champagne Blend

Popped and poured from magnum; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The Brut NV pours a deep straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart apple, lemon curd, some white flowers, brioche and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. An easy, breezy Champer that’s an easy quaffer. Drink now. — 5 months ago
