Les Spectres Chardonnay
Huge bready and yeasty nose, wow so expressive, green apple skins and so so expansive. Just a super intense nose. Spice and smoke and chardonnay stankiness. Mineral, so complex. Ethereal and so complex. Palate is super complex and juicy with such a fine mousse. So sappy and pure and wonderful silken texture and so much grip and salinity. Finish is so so long. Never ends. So fine and refined. Vinous quality. Amazing persistence and sapidity. Wow this reminds me of Batard-Montrachet with bubbles. So much grip. So fine. 9.7 sand and clay soils for this. — 2 years ago

Premier Cru La Scéne Champagne Chardonnay 2019
@Delectable Wine : This is the Emilien Allouchery La Scéne champagne. I didn’t see it in the database.
New producer I’ve started hearing about, and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to opening the BdN later.
80% fermentation in oak barrels, 20% in amphora. Disgorged May ‘23. 1 g/l dosage. 100% Chardonnay.
Bright, crisp and texturally really pretty. Classically grower champagne in style with the fruit center stage…borders on tropical (in a good way)…white peach, lemon zest, sea spray aromatics. IMO, a great example of where even 1gram dosage can help balance and lengthen out a champagne of this profile. Curious if the use of amphora adds to the mid-palate texture here? After an hour, little bit of sweet toast started to poke out, but it was second fiddle to the fruit. Balanced use of oak frames this well. Finish of chalk/limestone, sea salt, lemon confit, honeyed apple crisps. Worth seeking out. — a year ago

La Pucelle Chamery 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Maybe slightly better on Day 2 under a muzzle. The “Le Pucelles” pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of ripe and tart fruit: green apple, wild strawberry, raspberry, Meyer lemon, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry and the acid is high. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Looking back at my previous notes for this wine from the same disgorgement, the fruit set has shifted a little but I’m no less impressed. The quality of the fruit is tremendous and the minerals dazzle. A dense Champagne and yet it never feels heavy. The cut and precision is undeniable. Drink now through 2036. Disgorged in October of 2022. Thank you @Lyle Fass for the assist! — 2 months ago

C. de Réserve Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend
Nose is a bit more broad and less focused, smokey and brioche and yeast and bread, so fine and very dry and mineral, also the earthiest one. So pure and so sappy. Clean and fresh. Not too complex but so well made and fine mousse, juicy and invigorating and sapid and lots of fruit skins. Classic and champagne for parties. — 2 years ago

16/17 blend. Bottled April 2018. Disgorged Oct. 2022. What a color. Now that’s salmon. Nose is gorgeous strawberry, watermelon, minerals and it’s so clear and so clean. Just gorgeous. Floral and airy. Very attractive and provocative nose. Unreal concentration and the fruit is all sour cherries, sour sweet apples. Wow this is concentrated and the bubbles are so fine. This is superb. Sapid and dense but oh so light on its feet. Just terrific fruit and purity. This will improve with air but so much to like. The fruit is almost fruit skins. Some flesh but mostly skin. Such balance. Wonderful inner mouth aromas. So delicious. Saline finish. Can’t wait till this opens more. Wow this is salty! So good. Fleshing out with air. Tremendous architecture to this wine. Now there is citrus, and gorgeous florals and deeper watermelon. The nose is like a 9.7. Also a feral element that adds complexity. Amazing. So chewy and dense and just insane complexity. Needs to get more elegant and it will. With air comes great finesse and a brilliant, very integrated textured and all parts. Very fine stuff. Unreal density and structure here, anchored by world class finesse and length. — 7 days ago
