2500!! It only seems appropriate that it’s Champagne and why not make it a Special Club from Gaston Chiquet. The 2014 is a Chardonnay driven (38% Pinot Noir) cépage from predominately 1er Cru vineyards in Dizy with a dash of Grand Cru fruit from Aÿ. Popped and poured. The wine pours a bright straw color with a persistent mousse. Moderate intensity. On the nose, tropical fruits (pineapple), lemon, a little raspberry, some brioche and chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with good acid. The notes from the nose are confirmed. There’s beautiful texture with a long, chalky mineral finish. Elegant and superbly balanced. This drinks very well right now but could age for another 5+ years easy. Disgorged December of 2021.
