Blend of Chardonnay (55%) and Pinot Noir (45%). Pale gold color. Aromas of freshly baked bread, toasted nuts, white flowers, citrus zest and a chalky/smoky note. Flavors of grapefruit, green apple, tropical fruits, roasted nuts, and a lovely note of brioche. Long and lingering mineral driven finish. Vibrant acidity along with wonderful tension and complexity. Creamy mousse and texture with a steady stream of fine bubbles. So beautifully savory. Thank you Jason B. for sharing this beautiful wine (and storing it so well) to toast Matt A’s 50th Birthday! — 6 days ago

Soft and supple in the palate. Plush fruit. Yellow apple, hints of orchard fruit, a touch of saline and mellow stone. Very refined and detailed acidity. Excellent — 21 days ago

Cracked open The Veuve again. Perfect acidity, complex nose of citrus (lemon, apricot, apple, and pear), good balance of yeast, a hint of brioche and pear on the palate. Solid go-to for the price. Happy Saturday! — a month ago

Bit of a champagne binge this weekend! 🙄😬
We love Ruinart Blanc de Blanc so was easy to go for this 2010 vintage, which did not disappoint.

Another year for the marriage, another lovely bottle of Bérêche, Brut Réserve. Still a benchmark NV for me. Previous notes apply. This bottle was disgorged November 2024 — 2 months ago

Surprisingly ready nose, like fresh crust of a sourdough, with Buddha’s hand or star fruit dry citrus merged with some dry mineral freshness. There’s actually a hint of band aid in there as well, though not off putting. The bubbles dissipate relatively quickly, but the palate is long and lingering, with tons of acidity, some slight baking notes, and a nice dry, energetic finish that keeps the dry citrus at the forefront. — 3 months ago

An easy drinking sparking wine from Anderson Valley in California.

Nicely balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Crisp and fresh tasting.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 to 5 years.

A nice sipping wine that will also pair nicely food.

A blend of 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir. Disgorged in 2025.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

Touches of sherry and sweet notes. Still a fresh punch but complex and precise. A subtle version of what selosse wants to be — 2 months ago

NV. Along with the Philipponnat Réserve Perpétuelle Brut, this is slaying it in that resto cost sub-$50 USD range currently. A little more green appley than the Philipponnat but still banging for the ca$hi$h. Did I mention 1/2 bottle availability? 8.19.26. — 2 months ago

After I tried through the other Champagnes. This came across as sweet. Just not a fan of this house. — 4 months ago

Well balanced, with good acidity yet retaining a softness on the palate. Flavors of brioche, baked apple, grapefruit, toasted hazelnuts, and a mineral-driven finish. Really enjoyed this, and went well with scallops with brown butter sauce. — 18 days ago

And then you stay for dinner. This needed a lot of air to open up. Nice, but not worth the price tag — 13 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90min before and during dinner. The 1995 pours a straw color with a gorgeous, persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with apples, ripe passion fruit, fresh brioche, lemon curd, toasted marshmallow and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. A freaking delicious Champagne. Drink now through 2035. — 5 days ago

Such a special champagne from a special vintage. Who cares if it's a grand Maison and not growers... — 4 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2015 pours a crystal clear, pale straw color with persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with bright green apple, star fruit, citrus tree blossom, lemon curd and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is long. This is a baby but there’s already a lot of material here. The texture is extraordinary. Expect a long life ahead. Drink now with maybe a short decant, through 2055. Third tranche. Disgorged September of 2025. — 3 months ago
