Dark fruits. Ice overall finish.but nothing extra special for the price. I would put this more with the $20 class of wines. — 7 months ago

Very special, red fruits from Pinot noir. No, this is made from Chardonnay grape. 2nd time on 200318, tasty giving impact with matured pear and nuts flavor and sourness. @2300, - Kkami, 210303 — 3 years ago

These Pierre Gimonnet champagnes are always of the highest quality from the Côte des Blancs and with terrific prices. An original member of the Club Trésors de Champagne, the Special Club, and an easy buy, each and every time.

The color of starlight on a cloudless night. A surplus of tiny bubbles and persistent perlage throughout. A very clean and focused nose showcasing lemon peel, pears, and sea salt. Vanilla custard and pronounced smoke. Hazelnuts and freshly baked dough with a nice dose of spice. Apples of the green and red varieties.

Some love has to be shown to the labels. Classy metal front label and an ultra informative back label. Pure Chardonnay from the Grand Crus of Cramant (59%) and Chouilly (25%) with the rest coming from the Premier Cru terroir of Cuis. The acidity here is outrageous and highly focused, really beautiful. Very pure and creamy. Disgorged in December of 2019 with an Extra Brut dosage of 4 g/l.

Everything carries over to the palate. A very complex and harmonious champagne. Fresh and bold with more apples and spice. Strong minerality and yeast here. Long, enduring finish. This definitely lives up to the standards of Gimonnet and the Special Club. Don’t sleep on these 14’s, they’re alive and kicking. — 2 years ago

Raul is one of those special and unique producers whose wines stand out in just about any field with others of similar quality. I could fill pages with tasting notes, but I feel it’s more appropriate to simply reiterate that these wines are beautiful, complex, superbly crafted and downright delicious. It is nearly impossible not to drink a whole bottle. I’m giving an extra point or two for the Saint Jacques Mencía cuvée because of the exceptional value it delivers at well under $20. This would embarrass many village level Burgundies at three or even four times the price. — 4 years ago

The mystery starts with a deep, rich garnet color followed by a variety of fragrances which follows suit with a Caymus Cab. Sweet blackberries, sugar-infused strawberries, aromatic hints of juniper berries, cinnamon, eucalyptus and vanilla. Medium tannins, naturally complex and yet extra bold! Add this Cab to your list at a special occasion or with the one you love! — 2 years ago

Followed the Ulysse Collin Extra. Rut, so the dosage seemed a bit high. I had the 2006 about a month ago and it was good, not great. This was good, but not great again. Enjoyable, but not entirely special. — 5 years ago
