Krug

Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2008

The nose comes at you like a firehose filled with citrus, honey, apple and almond. Crazy concentration that causes your cheeks to bulge. Insane level of acidity but it still manages to release flavors of citrus , honey and toast. A palate saturating finish . Given the bear hug structure I’m amazed how giving the palate is. — 17 days ago

Though still an infant, 2008 is nonetheless amazing

Marc Hébrart

Special Club Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend 2018

Very surprised by this, but I guess no Mark Hébrart should be all that surprising. Definitely punches above its weight class, and has many similarities to the 2012/2013 PRSWC. Alluring freshness and vibrancy coupled with a shocking level depth and roundness. Very well balanced all-around; looking forward to cellaring the 2019s. Mouthfeel is pure velvet via a delightfully soft / oily texture. 60% Pinot Noir + 40% Chardonnay; Dosage: 4-6 g/l. Disgorged: 1/18/22 — 11 hours ago

Salon

'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay 2007

When Salon has some age that’s when it shows how special it is. It gains most notably in texture, aromatic complexity and really becomes singular in its expression of Mesnil Chardonnay. 2007 is in a beautiful spot, stunningly pure with incredible fruit and mineral definition and a finish that just stays with you.

Domaine de la Pépière

La Pepie Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2023

Bright and dry, slightly effervescent at first opening. Notes of melon and stone fruit, but very light. We had it with scallops sauteed in butter and it was lovely. — 2 months ago

Conversation Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Exceptional. Our guests loved this from the first sip. this wine paired beautifully with with the salty latkes and sour cream appetizers we served. It was just as magnificent with roast salmon, and a butternut squash with maple-Serrano glaze. Depth, brightness and all-around delicious. — 5 days ago

Launois Père et Fils

Special Club Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay 2008

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2008 Special Club pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing and somewhat shy but there’s citrus, white peach, brioche and a rather fascinating smell that reminded me of a built-up roof. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose however here, it’s much richer and expansive. The finish is long. Young? Probably. Drink now through 2038. No disgorgement data. — 23 days ago

It was a really nicely aged vintage champagne. And probably better the next day!
