Popped and poured. This is a bit unusual as it’s a Pinot Blanc and then even more unusual that it was released as a Special Club. The 2017 vintage may have something to do with the focus on Pinot Blanc though I have no information to back that up. Redolent of stone fruits on the nose with mostly white peach and some apricot; both mostly on the slightly underripe end of the spectrum. Lemons and chalky minerals too. Acid is medium(+?). The finish is long and slightly bitter. Pretty fun to drink and probably at its best now or over the next 5 years. Disgorged 10/2021 — 2 years ago

Blackberry and plum skin flavor, evidence of whole cluster with top notes of floral (lavender) and hints of camphor. — 4 years ago

Balanced intensity. Nice spice edge. Tobacco drenched in dark tart cherry and huckleberries ....I think. 😄. I just threw that one in because it was on my mind. We were eating huckleberries on our trails hiking Idaho this weekend. 👍 — 6 years ago

Well they’ve done it again. Who is they? Why Cédric Moussé and the Club Trésors de Champagne of course. Another superstar bottle from them.

A muted pale lemon color with an effusive stream of tiny bubbles. Aromas of honeyed almonds, peaches, and crushed herbs. Fresh cherries and apricots sparkle here. Toasty brioche bread and chalky minerality show after some time with green apples being quite dominant after receiving some air.

The Master of Meunier and here it shows. 100% Pinot Meunier from the village of Cuisles located in the Vallee de la Marne. This Special Club offering is from one plot of land, giving it its name, Les Fortes Terres. Disgorged on 10/21/19 with a dosage of 1 g/l, this is refreshingly stark with beautifully racy acidity.

Full bodied and bold on palate, the complexity and purity of the Meunier shines through. Butterscotch and apples start the party off with more cherries and citrus playing along. A nice long, dry finish. Vibrant and captivating. Moussé and Special Club champagnes never disappoint. — 4 years ago

A surprisingly bright and crisp (like lemons and pears) white from Paso Robles, better known for its reds. Terrific summer sips here! — 7 years ago

A little air helps, but good fruit and smoothness typical of Stag’s reds. A solid reliable choice for a supper club steak. — 4 years ago

Rich but not over the top and not too revealing on the nose or palate. Tasty nonetheless. Maybe a little maturity to settle in. — 4 years ago
