Sommelier suggest at Pappas Steakhouse. Looking for something that was similar in style to Krug Cuvee but not for the price. At $107 on the menu this delivered wonderfully. Paired beautifully with the fortune oysters.
Similar profile to Krug but just a touch sweet on the finish.
Disgorged 2021.

Great example of a grand cru cote des blanc grower..
This bottle seems to be based on the 2016 vintage and was disgorged in early 2019 after 2 years on the lees. So aged 4 plus years post disgorgement. 100% Chouilly Chardonnay dosed at 6g/l.
Excellent depth of color (lemon/green).
Gorgeous aromas of citrus, white flowers , candied green apple and some brioche. Just a hint of oxidization on the nose.
This wine really shines on the plate - medium bodied , mouth watering acidity, lots of flavor concentration and chalky mineral laden finish.
Drinking well now and for those with the 2016 base year- I would opt to drink up.

2019 base. Lemon nose. More lemon on the palate. A touch austere but a bright finish. This was my favourite of the three Vazart-Coquart with the rest too reductive for my wheelhouse. 90

Really good blanc de blanc made from grand cru grapes. Price wise out performs many pricier offerings. Fine bead, citrussy nose with yeasty brioche. Great.

Clear light yellow. Lots of pear and green apple, a bit of bread dough. Dry pear and citrus flavours and a dry textured finish.
