Special Club Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay 2005
"No other Champagne smells this way," Theise says, and I'm inclined to believe him. A little surprised it's pure Côte des Blancs - it is more brawny than elegant, but captivating, rewarding nonetheless. — 11 years ago
Cave des Grands Crus Blancs
Pouilly-Loché Chardonnay 2014
It's been awhile since I had one of these but it's a really nice change up. Well worth it. I didn't taste any oak but it was still creamy with real subtle mineral and tannins — 9 years ago

CFGV (Compagnie Française des Grands Vins)
Le Cardinale Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay
Light straw in color with a golden hue.
Very aromatic nose of lemons, white flowers, yeast, green apples, grapefruits, minerals, spices, herbs and white pepper.
Light bodied with high acidity and a lot of tiny bubbles.
Dry on the palate with green apples, grapefruits, bread, spices and white pepper.
Medium plus in length with limes and bitter almonds.
A well balanced sparkling wine from France. Enjoyable by itself or with food. Good quality, fruity and refreshing.
I had it at the end of the meal, by itself. This is delightful.
10.5% alcohol by volume. — 9 years ago

On the nose, sweet, floral, dark cherries, touch of plum, black raspberries, raspberries, red licorice/cola, lovely funk, canopy leaf, perfumed red florals and fine, sexy, chalky minerality. The mouthfeel is beautifully crisp...medium body. The fruits are bright and tantalizing. Strawberries, dark cherries with Rainer cherries blended in, cranberries, pomegranate, plum, black raspberry, raspberries, soft, super fine powdery chalkiness, crushed dry rock powder, light beautiful spice, red florals with a touch of violets, perfect acidity and a well balanced, polished finish. Photos of, the property entrance, Chevrey Chambertin vineyard and Arnaud. History and producer notes...Domaine Denis Mortet was founded by Denis Mortet in the early 1990s. Strangely, he took his own life at the age of 51 in 2006. He started with modest holdings to become a very well respected Winemaker in Burgundy with his 1993 wines. His son Arnaud has now taken over. The estate vines are relatively young at 25 years. The Domaine's 10 hectares encompass 14 different Appellations, including two Grands Crus in Clos-de-Vougeot and Chambertin. All their wines including their village wines see new oak. This wine is a blend of all their Chambertin holdings and fermented in around 30% new oak. — 8 years ago
