Special Club Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay Champagne 2015

Exquisite and delicious!!

Beautifully balanced between fresh, vibrant apple, lemon peel notes and brioche, biscuit, toasted almond, and pastry notes, with some delicate bruised pear characteristics revealing a bit of bottle age.

Mousse is fine-grained, persistent, and well-integrated. So good!

Spécial Club Brut Grand Cru Champagne Pinot Noir Rosé 2015

So young, so very young. But so pretty and so damned delicious. Sparkling pale salmon with effusive perlage. It’s a very aesthetically pleasing champagne. Strawberries in cream are prominent on the nose with rose petals. Fresh brioche and daisies. The nose just goes on and on.

As is typical with Bara champagnes, this is Pinot Noir from Bouzy. Complex, alluring, and lithe, this has all the trademarks of becoming a great wine in the future. As it is, it’s already an utterly felicitous wine. Nice acidity and typically wonderful structure. Silky and luxurious but you just know it’s going to get better.

A sudden burst of seductive fruit in the mouth. Red apples, red cherries, and more strawberry on the palate. Plenty of citrus here, as well. Just the faintest hint of fresh mint on the long finish for an added boost. I should say hold these for a years so it can truly become itself, but go ahead now. Why not, you only live the once.

Special Club Brut Champagne 2015

Tastes like move in day @ Glenwood!

Mac surprisingly said he liked it a lot despite it leaning to the green apple side of champagne. More brioche than their regular but still green apple, lemon curd, laser focused acidity

Very well priced for special club

This 15 year old Champagne is rich and very enjoyable by itself or with food.
