A good wine buddy had a birthday, so some friends and I got together, planned out some flights, and had a killer evening. Too many epic wines that I felt each one deserved more time and air on it's own. So many special wines in this lot!
2008 J.L. Vergnon Expression 93 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
Doughy and rich yet so precise with minerals, slate, mountain stream. Lemon and green apple fruit mixed with biscuits and saline. So pretty.

2010 Jacques Lassaigne Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Clos Sainte Sophie 95 Points
France, Champagne
Wow, this is exceptional. So complex and intriguing. Zesty and zippy but lots of depth, richness and nutty elements as well. Ginger, honey, dried flowers, clove, minerals, fresh biscuits. Lovely, unique stuff.

NV Ulysse Collin Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Les Pierrières 94 Points
France, Champagne
So focused and razor-like, but shows fruit and depth to balance it out. Chalky, nervy, pithy, salty. Man I love this stuff. Based on the 2012 vintage.
