Special Club Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay Champagne 2010

Nice champagne but honestly slightly underperformed my expectations. Bubbles were quite strong at first. But overall this is precise and pure - laser focused in fact. Doesn't have the yeasty / lees-y complexity that I normally like but obviously a ver nice wine. — 8 years ago

Vieilles Vignes de Pinot Noir Ambonnay Brut Grand Cru Blanc De Noirs Champagne

Gramona

Gran Reserva III Lustros Brut Nature Cava Xarello Macabeo 2007

🏅 Rating 87+/100 (3,75🌟)

Persistent mousse. Nose of bruised apples, peach and some other stone fruits. Not enough acidity to reach a perfect balance.

One of the most famous Cava. Grower crafted Spanish bubbly. Family owned. Single vineyard. Biodynamic cultivation. 7 years aged on lees. Brut Nature with zero dosage. Blend 75/25: Xarel.lo/Macabeu.

It has everything that you can think of to please wine enthusiasts, but imho it is still light years away from Champagne. Good on its own, but I choose Champ.

Domaine de la Pépière

Clos des Briords Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2006

Marc Stubblefield
9.1

Age your Muscadet, people. I mean, absolutely drink it young (the '15 is stellar), but lose a few in the back of your cellar. While this isn't as zippy as it once was, it's gained layers of complexity as the citrus gets more honeyed and burnished, and the lees character becomes somehow both more forward and more integrated. Worth contemplating. I think I paid $11? — 8 years ago

Henriot

Brut Souverain Champagne Blend

Tremendous #Champagne #wine. Smells of dry toasted bread, carbon and golden apples. Tastes range from green/gold apples, dry apple core, slighty doughy from lees aging. Bone dry and refreshing. Classic example. — 8 years ago

Pol Roger

Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne 1995

I've heard Winston drank up to 400 bottles a year of Pol Roger and after tasting this beauty... Only the 15th vintage....i know why. Certainly more pinot than any other grape this champagne drank like a wine after it was open for two hours. Delicious and crisp.... Thus monster spent ten years on the Lees but damn it's good. — 9 years ago

Domaine du Haut Bourg

Origine Muscadet-Côtes de Grandlieu Melon de Bourgogne 2003

This is pretty special.. Burgundian in texture and profile with a distinct muscadet edge. This '03 was only bottled in 2013. That's because it spent 10, yes 10 years on lees... rich yet energetic. Silky yet clearly mineral. Lemon curd, almond, sea salt, pineapple and fresh yeast. Really fantastic, what a surprise from muscadet's newest AOP and one of the Loire's most overlooked regions. 2003 was a nightmare vintage and out comes this magical wine, go figure.... — 10 years ago
