Cuvée de Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Shay A
9.3

This is a really nice NV champagne. Done in a solera style method with the oldest being a small bit of ‘88 vintage. It’s not quite as caramelized or oxidized as Krug, but there are definitely similarities. Where this is more bright fruit, it has the toffee and marzipan finish similar to Krug. There is more honeyed lemon here as opposed to honey comb. For the price, this is really nice. Thanks for sharing @Clare Gillette ! — 7 years ago

Napa Valley Brut Blanc de Blancs 2011

This 100% Chardonnay sparkling wine from California is made in the traditional method.

Pale lemon in color.

On the nose, yeast, cheese and some funk.

Dry on the palate with apples, yeast and bread.

Nice vintage sparkling wine with high acidity, yet not too crisp.
Well made and very enjoyable.

Coates & Seely (Britagne)

Methode Britannique Brut Reserve Chardonnay Blend

Classic method from Hampshire in the UK, 12%. My first taste of sparkling wine from Great Britain. Light, but intense yellow color, with very fine perlage. "Cold" nose, with scents of confectionery, but a bit "pollaio" too. In the mouth immense acidity (a bit too much for me), and very citrous . Not my favorite. 81/100 — 12 years ago

@Ryan Vento that’d be so awesome you could come. Early 2020 sounds good though haha. It won’t be too busy here. What’s in your itinerary? 😂

The original lineup was Addax, Bevan, Alpha Omega, Cade, Inglenook, Newton, Stag’s, and Amici. However, I’m thinking about either substituting two of those for Kenzo and Far Niente, or simply adding them both to the itinerary and expanding the trip in doing so.

Marqués de Riscal

Reserva Herederos del Marques de Riscal Rioja Tempranillo 2012

In 1858, it was the first winery in Rioja to produce wines using the Bordeaux method. In 1972, it was the first to promote the Rueda Designation of Origin. A blend of 90% Tempranillo & 10% Graciano (varies sometime Mazuelo is added). A powerhouse of aromas, berry, sweet spice and some citrus on the nose. On the palate, dark berry fruits, cacao, some smoky pepper with a savory character. Fine tannins, nice balance and good length ending with slight mineral, oak and earthy tones. Great value, short term aging potential. — 8 years ago
