A delightful selection 👌🏻 Sad it’s my last bottle but thankful it can easily (and enjoyably) be acquired by taking a stroll out to the TX Hill Country to visit Alexander Vineyards’ tasting room. Chalky, Granny Smith apples, nice tartness, good body. — 5 days ago

What a lovely wine. It has definition and nerve that balances out its impressive breadth, especially given the racing acid across all parts of the mouth. Lemon pith, tart apple, crushed chalk, hazelnut, Emmentaler rind, salted ham, hay. There’s a kiss of something aldehydic in there, but I like the complexity it brings. This has gained some nice development. 100 CH 4/2017 disgorgement — 12 days ago

A Valentines Day tipple with the missus and what a beautiful Champagne it was. Pale Lemon in colour with an ultra fine persistent bead. Aromas of sweet citrus, Nougat, mineral, toast, honey and stone fruit which transfer through to the palate. Needless to say marvellous complexity in this 100% Chardonnay. Fermented in stainless steel and given a full malolactic fermentation. Dosage 4.5 grams per Litre. Disgorged October 2016. One of the 1001 wines and a wonderful treat from Champagne’s oldest firm. Made entirely from Chardonnay Grand Crus. — 14 days ago

Linseed oil. Yellow plums. Upfront plush with waves of acidity. Very good. Needs a classier label. — a day ago

A really approachable nose. Zesty citrus a slate. Lovely sweetness and driving acidity. Long and intense, this has great material but is surprisingly open now — 6 days ago

Our annual Valentine’s Day bottle, a bit late as we were traveling last weekend. I think we have 5 left after this year. Very complex with an overriding caramel yeast note. Finish is beautiful crystalline lemon. But this is in an interesting place - the bubbles actually now feel a little much for the rest of the wine. Will be interesting to check in next year. Perfect with some sole meunière! — 4 days ago

Hay, honey, ripe apple, coconut (young) nose. Round creamy front palate (malolactic fermentation). Sharp acid structure giving way to fruit with the creamy backbone throughout. Fun champagne, true to its origin! — 6 days ago
