Brut Sélect Cordon Bleu Champagne 2002
I don’t know this house. They make Cordon Bleu—brut, extra brut, rosé, also a higher level called Princes, and their grand marque is Louis XV, also making a high end Vinotèque from older stock. House was founded in 1837 in Epernay. This is the only one I’ve had, a Cordon Bleu brut. And w 20 years on it, it’s pretty good juice. — 20 days ago
Domaine Henri Boillot
Clos de la Mouchère Monopole Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011
What did you think of this one?
This is the wine that I twice forgot I bought a case of and bought it three times so I better like it. Grand cru level and a yearly purchase. If not premoxed it can be lovely. Real good acids in this one.
Thanks Alan! Always appreciate your posts.

Coeur de Cuvée 1er Cru Champagne Blend 2008
wow. Wow. Wow. Stunning. Thick yet not heavy lime, lemon, pear, intertwined with minerals and lifted by perfectly integrated acidity. Leads with the lime, just beautiful wine. The texture and depth are impressive. I’ve been drinking 3 or 4 champagnes a week the past many weeks and this one leads the pack. Wow. — 25 days ago
@Alan Weinberg High praise. I screwed up and have zero ‘08 of this but I did buy a few of the 2012.
You’ll likely be fine!
