This Champagne and fried chicken thing has legs! No malolactic and long sur-lee aging is the program at Ellner, and in a fat vintage like 2005 it had paid off. Rich leesy flavors, and the snap that balances everything perfectly!

Pale gold color with very appealing aromas of apple, orange zest, hazelnut complicated by a chalky minerality. On the palate, the mousse is delicate and creamy, but the wine itself leans toward medium-full bodied. It is vibrant and balanced with apple, orange zest, hazelnut, and hints of honey and quince flavors with some time in the glass. There is a lingering finish with an appealing chalky minerality. Blend of composed of 70% Chouilly Grand Cru Chardonnay, with the balance being a combination of Tauxieres and Epernay Pinot Noir. 2004 Brut Prestige. Wonderful value Vintage Champagne from a highly regarded vintage

Oxidized nose of honeysuckle and hazelnuts. Almost like Palo Cortado Sherry. Palate is clean and focused with refreshing citrus and a finish of brioche and sourdough.

This is quintessential 2004- a vintage that I am sure will grow in reputation just like 1988. Composed of 70% Chouilly Chardonnay and the rest Tauxieres and Epernay Pinot, this wine is 100% estate. This has precision and cut that put it up with the best of Blanc de Blancs. It also has creamy lees character and good mouth feel... What a bottle!

Champagne that straddles the line of rich/lean. Soft dough and brioche are balanced with a weightlessness of soft bubbles. A long, rather yeasty finish.
