Chardonnay de la Vallée Brut Nature 2018

Lyle Fass
9.5

Hugely fruity nose. Ripe golden delicious apples and ripe pear. Maybe Bosc? Stunning saline and nimble minerals. You can really smell the Chardonnay and maybe that’s due to the warmth of the vintage. Oh my that is fine. So saline, incredible mousse and so elegant. Juicy and ripe and the brut nature character is almost invisible as the vintage was so ripe. Round, opulent and so graceful. Let’s see how it opens as there seems to be more under the surface. Not as focused as 16 or 17 but the sheer fruit intensity makes up for it. Outrageous concentration and explosiveness. — 5 days ago

Pur Mennier Brut Nature Champagne Blend 2017

9.6

What a showing. Nose is all brioche and yeast Bur refined and so fine. Gorgeous spice bazaar as well. So airy and mineral. Palate is just insane. So dense and concentrated with super fine bubbles. Palate is feral and bright with terrific spice and flavor intensity. So clean and pure — 6 months ago

Chamboureau Savenniéres Chenin Blanc 2014

Lovely bottle of Savennieres, honeyed, still excellent balancing acidity, long finish, getting ready to grill some farm-raised sturgeon to pair with it. — 2 months ago

Sturgeon! I haven’t had that since I waited tables at a high-end Philly fish restaurant 40+ years ago!

@Tom Casagrande, actually Sacramento, near the airport, is one of the largest sources of caviar (and of course sturgeon) in the U.S., so it’s relatively cheap and also plentiful year round here — I just indirect grill it, and my wife may put a simple lemon butter sauce on it.

Le Parc Savenniéres Chenin Blanc 2019

Beautiful Chenin Blanc. This wine needs at least 45 minutes to open up. Once it does it is so good. Complex flavor profile with slight oxidative notes, tropical fruit, and a flowery nose. — 6 months ago
