This was a great bottle of champagne with tiny pinprick bubbles that reminded me of Cristal, with a slightly more unique flavor profile. $325 at Joujou. — 2 months ago

Nice nose of plums, blackberry, black pepper and a bit of oak. The palate is very well made, rather round and joyful, with bright red fruit notes, some acid drive, a sphere of a mid palate before a fresh finish with black pepper, blackberry that lasts for a long while. Good stuff! — 3 years ago

9g/l per un brut ammaliante, elegantissimo, con ogni caselli a che sta al posto giusto nel manuale dello champagne. Non smetterei mai di berlo, entra piano in bocca ma senza vacillare, quasi in punta di piedi e si presenza con la sua cremosità e il suo delicatamente essere chardonnay ed essere champagne. Golosissimo e invitante, dosato in maniera magistrale per dare soddisfazione da subito, senza aspettare niente — 11 years ago

A decidedly attractive crystal gold color with magnificent fast perlage. On the nose there’s plenty of citrus aromas along with soft vanilla and a trace of oak. Delicate floral aromas and butterscotch. Terrific.

Everything that you want is right here. Everything. Still very young but ready and well developed. The 2014 vintage is looking tremendous so far and this is another example. Very, very pure and absolutely singing. 100% Chardonnay from one of the few Clos in Champagne. Bright acidity, well defined character, and sharp precision.

The attack is intense and immediate. Chalky and citrusy for days. Hot buttered brioche and orange blossom. A bit of spice on the long finish. Complex and exciting with oh so much potential. — 3 years ago

This was the 2002. Patrick Arnould's Carte d'Or takes a number of years to develop. He trades red wine to Delphine Cazals for the 50% Mesnil Chardonnay in this wine, and uses old Verzenay Pinot from his estate for the other half. It takes a while for these top quality ingredients to marry in the bottle, but if you can wait the aged wine is as good as anything. Nutella like hazelnut richness is seamlessly joined to crackling chalk 13 years later! — 11 years ago
