The 2004 Diebolt-Vallois Brut Fleur de Passion lives up to its name. This sumptuous and beautifully rendered Cramant unfurls slowly with notes of white peach, golden delicious apple, and honeysuckle. The mousse is ultra-fine and utterly seductive, like a plunge into some fantastic glittery-gold enchantment (see Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss). Seamless waves of orchard fruit and well-integrated toast are drenched in textural creaminess, and the most exquisitely subtle mineral

Richly robed in gold, not unlike Gustav Klimt's portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, the Sylvain Dussort
Meursault 2011 has both contrast and curves. On the nose, aromas of lush, bruised pear, golden apples, almond puff pastry, and honey. And on the palate, a lovely interplay of silken, glycerol-drenched orchard fruit layered into moderate acidity and discreet minerality. It strikes all the right notes, and the oak is quite restrained. — 10 years ago
A tannic monster, cedar Rutherford dust and dark berries on the nose. This bottle would make Gustav Niebaum and John Daniels proud. — 11 years ago
Fruit on the nose. Spice and deep flavors of a Cabernet. Another surprisingly good, affordable bottle! — 11 years ago
This wine was absolutely delicious. The server described it as dry, however, although it wasn't sweet, it also didn't have the typical dryness to the palate I would expect from a "dry" wine. Very little acidity, easy to drink, but not because it's not complex. I was extremely pleased with this wine. Paired well with sashimi and sushi, didn't overpower the delicate taste of the fish. — 9 years ago
