2019 Dhondt-Grellet Champagne Premier Cru Les Terres Fines Blanc de Blancs 92 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru
Straight but not joyless, with a fine sense of sweetness and juicy fruit.
Really like the style.

2019 Dhondt-Grellet Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Cramant 93 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
Fine texture in the mouth with a full body.
Toast and brioche notes, noticeable wood, yet mineral and focused, no noticeable residual sweetness.
There is a VA note that I find pretty off-putting at the moment, but the other drinkers did not seem to care as much as I did.
Maybe this can go away with aging. Hence, may range for the rating.
Very good - outstanding (and can perhaps still improve). 92-95Read 3 Comments / Post a Comment / 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Report Issue

2014 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Année 92 Points
France, Champagne
Juicy, round, a bit of reduction in this one.
This stood out in comparison to the other straighter styles of champagnes we had this evening.
A tad below the '12 for me, but not a huge difference.

2004 Tarlant Champagne La Vigne d'Antan 96 Points
France, Champagne
Great acidity, fantastic tension, hugely complex, minerality and at the core a subtle sweetness that makes this wine not joyless despite the high acidity.
Great stuff and my WOTN.
It was not universally loved, some found the acidity too high.
Outstanding wine. 95-100Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue
2012 Larmandier-Bernier Champagne Grand Cru Vieille Vigne du Levant Extra Brut 95 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
Not unlike the Dhondt-Grellet Cramant we had before.
Perceivable wood, tiny bit of VA, somewhat reductive, very good complexity.
Loses out somewhat to the Tarlant.
