Comtes de Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 1996

Andrew Cullimore
9.6

Medium lemon colour . Lovely lemon, buttered pastry nose , still so fresh and lively . Mineral with a honeysuckle note , touch of blanched almond . On the palate quite rich and complex , with high acidity and mineral , honied , brioche notes , still quite fresh though with lots of creamy lemon hints. Long mineral tinged finish . Lovely now and over the next 5-10 years . — 5 days ago

Cuvée des Grands Côtés Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Pinot Noir 2017

Ira Schwartz
9.3

Never disappoints. Beautiful melange of red fruit, earth, spice and acidity. Full of power but not heavy. As good as some Grand cru’s . Coteaux Champenois is never inexpensive but this has become very pricey . Granted I have not had a large number of still champagne but I have enjoyed the journey. This one is widely considered the king of the hill. — a month ago

@Ira Schwartz Interesting Ira. I bought a bottle of the 2020 vintage of this Cuvée last year in a bottle shop in Tuscany. Will be interesting. I paid $574 AUD and I think I got ripped off.

Cuvée des Enchanteleurs Brut Champagne Blend 1998

Christian Fischer
9.7

Wow. 1998 was a great year and this is an awesome iteration. 2nd maturation phase. Perfectly (yes, honestly) balanced flavor profile and still vibrant - not sure what we can drink next to keep going upwards - let’s see. — 2 months ago

This is a very tasty Grand Cru Champagne.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and medium plus size bubbles.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing limes, lemons, brioche, yeast, minerals, and green apples.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A nice sipping wine that will pair nicely with seafood.

Disgorged in 2017.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$70. — 2 months ago

Un Jour de 1911 Brut Champagne Pinot Noir

Alan Weinberg
9.1

Wish I knew the base year and other relevant info re this bottle. I’ve had it a couple years. Lovely stuff. Since they claim to make 1911 bottles, what do they do with the rest if “more” is vinified? — 18 hours ago

Indeed excellent qpr. If you buy a case then each bottle is wrapped in straw and has it's own booklet. On the back of the booklet you can see the bottle nr xxxx/1911 and the degorgement date. This at least gives a hint of the period. It is a blend of multiple years so if they have a rich harvest maybe they save some for blending purposes with future vintages? They make other cuvee's as well so they blend excess wine with those also
