Krug

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

20th edition, 2007 base. With Indian food at Vij in Vancouver, first time w the Krug rosé and simply stunning. The depth of flavor and persistence were amazing yet it maintained a delicacy. Red fruited, stunning. — 6 days ago

Les Pierrières Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2017

2017 base, 48 mois is still a baby. Very enjoyable but so much more to offer with some more bottle age, I’m sure. Best after 2 hours open. — 11 days ago

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2008

Delicious and just starting to be drinkable. Lovely opulent fruit and a spine of gorgeous acidity. A touch of sweetness. Great, with loads of life ahead — 4 days ago

Jacques Selosse

Initial Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

(Disg. 5/21) Initial is the most produced in quantity of the Selosse bottlings but it is not to be overlooked, and 2021 disgorgment is electric today with distinctive Selossien aromas of caramelized orchard fruit, roasted nuts, honeycomb and gun smoke. The palate is rich, powerful and deep with racy acids and a chalky mineral core. It has both freshness and oxidative complexity yielding a complete, balanced and utterly seamless Champagne. The best ☺️ — 17 days ago

Bollinger

R.D. Extra Brut Champagne Blend 2008

Delectable Wine
9.6

Bollinger’s 2008 R.D. is a powerful, vinous Champagne. Apricot, dried pear, tangerine oil, hazelnut, dried flowers, chamomile and brioche all race across the palate. The 2008 boasts notable depth and textural intensity, with a feeling of phenolic, almost tannin-driven grip from the Pinot that propels the finish.(Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2023) — 7 days ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 2009

Quite nice with a distinctive brioche overtone. Full and round, May still need a few years. Been feeling lately like more distinctive profiles in the grower champs vs the big dogs (at big dog $$). — 10 days ago

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

La Grande Dame Brut Champagne Blend 2012

Medium straw color. Citrus aromas, lightly floral and raw biscuit. Sexy AF champagne, complex with a racy citrus punch. Could use some salty caviar to balance it. Definitely can go another 8-10 years. It’s a Grande Dame, absolutely amazing! — 20 days ago
