Bollinger

Special Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend 1929

Pale golden in the glass with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of green apple, orange peel, pear, and peach, layered over rich notes of brioche and toast. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and complex, with a creamy texture, energetic mousse, and toasty depth. High acidity. Vibrant and refreshing with a long, satisfying finish. Consistently well-balanced, reliably delicious. A standout non-vintage Champagne. — 6 months ago

La Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

Pale gold with tiny bubbles concentrated at the center of the glass. Biscuit, brioche, green apple, pear, lemon, orange, and a hint of cheese. Medium body with bright acidity, a soft, lively mousse, and a medium-plus finish. Good value Champagne for the price.

Dom Ruinart Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2006

Gorgeous.

Solid bubbles that quickly give way to toasted brioche flavors and nice rich flavor.

You can taste a bit of the dosage and sweetness at the end but it’s not overwhelming.

Really smooth and great way to start dinner

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2015

Quite light lemon yellow , very persistent , fine bubbles . Quite taut and strict on the nose , chalk dust , white flowers , honey suckle and elderflower , lemon peel , touch oyster shell and a touch of fresh baked bread . On the palate really good volume and density , lively acidity . Lots of citrus with good mineral , oyster shell notes . Long and mineral , saline, tinged finish , hint of toasty brioche on the end . This is really quite young and shows tighter and more mineral than the first bottle we had . Would leave this a few years and will have a long life , better in 10 -15 years and last well a further 10 or so . Great potential — 6 months ago
