'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay 1996

9.7

v96. A soft spot in my heart always as it was the year I won my champagne award. 96 a great but fruitful vintage, this baby still so young and while showing hazlenut brioche creme brûlée auto lysis development, could have easily been another 5 years. Stunning. Wish I could do it all over again — 10 years ago

Quinta do Louridal

Poema Sur Lie Alvarinho 2016

The wines of the Monção e Melgaço sub-region of Vinho Verde are a serious discovery. Deeply mineral, with layers of both classic orchard fruit and some tropical notes. Oak aging adds another dimension. Check these wines out! — 6 years ago

Krug

Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 1979

1979 Clos Du Mesnil. What do you do when you are confronted with a legendary wine? You hope it doesn’t disappoint. At Pages in Paris today, Tomo delighted us with this outstanding bottle. Medium golden hue. The nose was to die for: fresh, white flower, chalk and honeyed - alluring and forever changing in the glass while keeping its freshness. Hints of truffle wafted away within minutes. What seemed like an impossible dream of the ultimate Champagne remained intact. Fine but persistent bubbles, huge but balanced concentration with a refreshing, zesty acidity and a finish I can still taste an hour and a half after having drained the last few precious drops of this legend. Wow, wow, wow. Incredible. 100 points. Don’t be afraid to open now or in 20 years. — 8 years ago

Distillerie Cazottes (Laurent Cazottes)

Folle Noire Sweet Red Villeneuve sur Vère

Aroma has nothing to do with when it hits the palate. Not very sweet. Perfect with cheese I would say. Even blue cheese — 8 years ago

Delamotte

Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2007

Somm David T
9.1

Delamotte is the sister house to Salon. The Delamotte generally gets the grapes that do not go into Salon. The 07 while tasty is a little simple. Nice green apple, lemon/lime zest, grapefruit, grapefruit pit, touch oily, citrus blossoms, nice minerality & acidity but missing the level of chalk you'd expect. Honey & butterscotch candy comes out as it sits in the glass awhile. — 10 years ago
