Introduction

2nd Champagne Club Meeting at Les Crayeres
The first time we had some bad luck with our bottles. This time it was the opposite. Almost all bottles are singing in a really high Level. And I think we had an undisputed WOTN: Cristal 1959

An amazing Bollinger 1975 from Jeroboam. It could be a 2002 due to freshness and bubbles.

The "planned" star of the evening Salon 1959 from Magnum was not disappointing and still Fresh and with bubbles.

A perfect service fom the Les Crayeres Team. l

  • 1975 Bollinger Champagne 99 Points

    France, Champagne

    (11/5/2019)

    Not blind, Jeroboam
    After the Cristal second wine of the Night. So much bubbles and foam. Delicately fresh. So Bolli with power and structure, but chocolate is in the background, refreshing Yuzu, and candied fruits are the main players. 99 At least two more decades ahead from this format.
