In perfect condition and drinking much more youthful than nearly 40 years!! Paired with grilled chicken thighs which went very well given the tannin structure has mostly receded. Acid still very much keeping things together and in check. Nice balance - still some good fruit, great earth, long finish. Hard to argue! — 16 days ago

Lighter in colour than the GPL, with ruby , garnet core and wider ruby garnet rim . Quite open , cool , lightly herbal nose with redder fruit , red currant , touch of red plum , cedar , grafite and tobacco . Quite light and elegant on the palate , cool , mineral, earthy tobacco . Quite good mouthfeel but certainly more focused and reserved , nothing showy . Quite ‘Lafite lite’ in style, doesn’t have the complexity or depth of the 1st wine obviously, but gives a good impression as to the style of the Chateau . Resolved tannins , balanced acidity , reasonable length . Grafite and tobacco tinged finish. Drink now and over the next 5 years or so — 2 months ago

Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France 🇫🇷

Overview
An exquisite 100% Chardonnay Champagne, sourced entirely from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Oger. Blended with 40% reserve wines (kept in a perpetual solera) and aged for a minimum of 4 years before release, this cuvée embodies the refined elegance of Côte des Blancs terroir.

Aromas & Flavors
Nose: intensely expressive, opening with citrus zest, dried fruits, and exotic floral notes, evolving into brioche, buttery pastry, and roasted almonds.
Palate: impeccably clean, with lemon, pear, and pastry cream balanced by a saline minerality and subtle spice, finishing long and refined.

Mouthfeel
Precise, vertical, and elegant. Fine bubbles and a creamy mousse glide across the palate, leading to a lingering, chalk-driven finish. Both delicate and powerful, a perfect Blanc de Blancs signature.

Winemaking & Style
Traditional méthode champenoise, with extended lees aging for added depth. The long élevage highlights terroir purity and finesse, creating a Champagne that is structured yet graceful.

Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with a sashimi platter, lobster thermidor, seared scallops, or oysters. Its mineral backbone also complements light cheeses and white truffle risotto.

Verdict
An elegant, harmonious Champagne that showcases the Rothschild legacy. A refined Brut with depth and purity, capable of satisfying casual enthusiasts and sophisticated palates alike. — 10 months ago
