Cru De La Vallée Du Rhône

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 — 6 days ago

Blanc de Blancs d'Aÿ Grand Cru Brut Champagne 2013

Drank on Christmas 2024 while opening presents. For CPG, this wine was very fine bubbles, beautifully smooth and elegant. Crisp apples and honey. — 2 months ago

Nutty oxidation but not overwhelmingly so, with good acidity, probably past peak but not too far over. — 3 months ago
