NV Vouette et Sorbée Champagne Blanc d'Argile Brut Nature 93 Points
France, Champagne
Had heard about this producer on the Vinous forum. Supposedly from cuttings from Selosse and Dauvissat.
Lovely crisp fresh nose - lemon zest spritzed on smoked salmon, some sea air and a tiny amount of natural funk.
Palate delivers on the nose - great intensity and lazer like cut. Oysters and lemon served with a slap in the face (in a good way). This came to life with the crab and corn tart - complimentary to the richness.
Really rather lovely.Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue
2010 Roses de Jeanne / Cédric Bouchard Champagne Inflorescence Blanc de Noirs Côte de Val Vilaine 94 Points
France, Champagne
Well this was a treat.
On the nose lemon curd and a hint of cider.
Gorgeous and expansive on the palate - ripe apples, custard. Very long finish.
This passed my "Wine Searcher" test but was sad to see this is rare as hens teethPost a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue

2008 Alfred Gratien Champagne Brut Millésimé 93 Points
France, Champagne
The nose reminded me of pasteis de nata - great pasty crust and custard - but also some freshness, like new cotton sheets.
Good intensity on the palate - moreish and with balanced acidity. Light moussePost a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue
2000 Alfred Gratien Champagne Brut Millésimé 93 Points
France, Champagne
Toffee apple kicks off the nose but some brown bread and sea air make this pretty intriguing.
Ripe and evolved on the palate - broad but juicy. Very long finish. In a great place!Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue

2018 Anne et Jean-Francois Ganevat Côtes du Jura La Gravière 93 Points
France, Jura, Côtes du Jura
This was on great form.
Perfumed amber nose speaking to some oxidative aspects.
The palate has wonderful tension between the rich oxidative elements (apple and pear slices starting to brown) and crisp keen acidity. Very moreish.Post a Comment / 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Report Issue
2013 Au Bon Climat Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard 92 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Maria Valley
Very rich vanilla and caramel nose but with a hint of mineral freshness that keeps things in check. Rich tangy palate.
This walks a very different tightrope to the Ganevat but is wonderfully balanced.
I also thought about how this compares to the Los Alamos - this is definitely richer and more exuberentPost a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue

1985 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 94 Points
France, Champagne
My first time having Dompers this old.
I thought it was gorgeous but can see how some thought this was edging over the hill.
Really rich caramel, mushroom and nut but a good cut of acidity to make this feel balanced. A treat to try thisPost a Comment / 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Report Issue

NV Louis Roederer Champagne Collection 242 91 Points
France, Champagne
From magnum.
Consistent with previous note.
Tangy but ripe apple on the nose.
Rich mousse, tangy, youthful palate.
I'm a fan of this but interested to see how it develops

2013 Taittinger Champagne Brut Millésimé 93 Points
France, Champagne
On the nose - lemon and orange zest, sea air and a hint of iodine.
Despite the crisp nose it's rounder on the palate that the Roederer - some caramel apple but good tang to the finish.
Lovely!
