Chardonnay de la Vallée Brut Nature 2018

Lyle Fass
9.5

Hugely fruity nose. Ripe golden delicious apples and ripe pear. Maybe Bosc? Stunning saline and nimble minerals. You can really smell the Chardonnay and maybe that’s due to the warmth of the vintage. Oh my that is fine. So saline, incredible mousse and so elegant. Juicy and ripe and the brut nature character is almost invisible as the vintage was so ripe. Round, opulent and so graceful. Let’s see how it opens as there seems to be more under the surface. Not as focused as 16 or 17 but the sheer fruit intensity makes up for it. Outrageous concentration and explosiveness. — 3 days ago

Vinotheque Champagne Blend 1999

Nice older champagne. Quite leesy with very refined and soft bubbles. Rather vinous, in a nice way, with great round acid on the finish. Definitely one to drink up now vs wait any longer! — 4 months ago

9.6

What a showing. Nose is all brioche and yeast Bur refined and so fine. Gorgeous spice bazaar as well. So airy and mineral. Palate is just insane. So dense and concentrated with super fine bubbles. Palate is feral and bright with terrific spice and flavor intensity. So clean and pure — 6 months ago
