Iconic spring season champagne. There are many reasons everyone loves this stuff - Grand Cru fruit, 36 months on lees, Billecart’s unique vinification process - but the best reason is that it is just so darn delicious. Tonight, the bouquet was intense and very much like a Chablis Grand Cru. Upon pouring into the glass, one notices the fine, elegant mousse rising from the bottom. Then the first sip - strawberries and pear with undertones of nuanced brioche and yeast. The style here is elegant and finessed. Beautiful juice! Tonight’s bottle disgorged in May, 2018. 50/30/20 chard/PN/PM, 9g/l dosage, 40% reserve wine. You will be hard pressed to find a better bottle of champagne in the $75-$90 price range. Well done!

Oh yeah, Raveneau! Heading out soon on a wineless trip (though I might whine), so I opened this on a whim and it stuns. Essence of Chardonnay with incredible minerality, acidity, intensity, focus--citrus zest magnified. Screaming for oysters, the wine has to be happy with just us drinking it. Great wine rising above its premier cru status. — 8 years ago

Mercurey rising. This wine is really showing well now. Candied cherry, tart currant, leather, crushed aspirin, black, and sandalwood. #devillaine — 9 years ago

Haven't updated here for the longest time, but that's kinda how my wine journey has been in the last couple of weeks - dry af, stash running low, without any means of resupply in Kuching. Nevertheless, the tide has turned with my trips to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Wine hour is at hand!

Did have this though during my dry spell. It was sort of nice find in this desolate land. Blistering acidity, floral, fruity - orange zest, grapefruit, finished with a light bitterness, honey, pebbly. Medium finish. A real solid Sancerre. — 6 years ago

Easter peeps/Cherry Tide detergent on the nose (a good way actually). Plums and cherry and hint of menthol on the nose. Red licorice. Reminiscent of Zinfandel but lacks the pepper/spice. Easy finish. — 8 years ago

Ocean Spray Cranraspberry on the nose. Deep cooked red fruit on the palate. This is decieving wine where the nose doesn't reflect the palate at all. The nose is nice though... — 8 years ago

Six different grapes ageing in French oak made the trick; a complex and rich wine, full of intense yet delicate aromas and flavors - Um blend de seis castas o envelhecimento em carvalho francês dão o tom aqui; um vinho complexo e estruturado, com grande intensidade de aromas delicados e sabores formidáveis! — 10 years ago

Light straw gold. Tight nose at first. With an hour of air this blossomed to show notes that show a cross of buttered toast and citrus. Rich and powerful in the mouth. With more air the nose resembles a bowl of bread dough rising. The complexity is amazing. Reinforces how some champagnes need that air to shine. — 6 years ago

Delicious wine. Benefits greatly from decanting. Firm pleasurable tannins. This wine is a keeper and in 3-4 years will be amazing. Rating the wine where it is now. Will buy more bottles to lay down.👍🏼 — 9 years ago

Good material, but extremely reduced. High(rising) pressure today may have influenced. Purportedly better on day 2 after a vigorous shake of the bottle. — 9 years ago
