(NV Chartogne-Taillet "CuvĂ©e St. Anne" Brut) ($47.00) The crossing has been completed. No longer the soft, apples and butter wine of old (which I liked and will miss!), the new cuvée is starched, oystery and firm, with great authority and underlying richness, and a fine shimmer of saltiness on the finish, which also shows a solid deep PN note. It’s 80% ’07 and 20% ’06-’05, 60%CH/40%PN. Decidedly on the dry side.2011 Champagne Catalog, 6/1/2011, (See more on Terry Theise Estate Selections...)
