Nice gold in the glass…medium mousse with deep, ripe red delicious apple and crunchy biscuit notes. Expands as it warms…and takes on gravitas and complexity. Scottish Salmon Pesto, creamy Greek salad, and fresh MI cream corn. I love July weekends just hanging, cooking, sipping champagne. Happy summer, Vinous! — 9 months ago

Bright citrus acid initially. Then a mid palate and finish of bread and yeast. Lingers a bit. Very enjoyable. — 6 years ago

Lean and citric. Showing some autolysis and developed nutty notes but still tight and laser focused. Really impressive Champers. — 9 years ago

Consistently delicious and great value in Grand Cru Blanc de Blanc Champagne.

Fresh, reductive, lively on the palate. Green apple, lemon, lime zest, baguette crust, pineapple, white peach, lanolin, cream, perfect chalk & minerality, yellow & white florals, beautiful acidity and rich polished finish that persists.

First time drinking Xavier’s wines and I’m really impressed. Stone fruit, apricot, peach, pineapple, white flowers...and continues to open with air and comes up to temp. Really delicious and reminds me a bit of Sandlands Chenin. — 5 years ago

14abv. Smells of dirty laundry and burnt crackers! Taste is incredibly smooth, peppery, not fruit forward. Deep, dark fruits. Everyone raved about this one! — 9 years ago
