Grande Cuveé 170ÈME Édition Brut Champagne Blend

The Grand Cuvée 170ème is based on the 2014 vintage (which comprises about 55% of the final blend) with the remainder being reserve vintages going back to 1998. Popped and poured; enjoyed two bottles from the same source back to back with consistent results (because it was so damned good and YOLO). The 170ème pours a straw color with persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe orchard fruit with some autolytic and charming oxidative notes: green apple, citrus, lemon curd, toasted brioche, hazelnuts and chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid (but balanced by the fruit and non-fruit). Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is creamy. There such a deft balance of acid and richness that Krug arguably does better than anyone; at least consistently. Always a banger. Drink now through 2039. Disgorged Summer of 2021. — 3 days ago

Clos d'Ambonnay Brut Blanc de Noirs Champagne Pinot Noir 2002

Amazing wine. For me its texture stood out most. Crystalline and pure silk with unbelievable mouthfeel, volume and tension, gaining weight with each pour and building as the night went on. This will be one of the greatest Champagne’s ever made in 10 years. — 2 months ago
