NV Jacques Selosse Champagne Brut Rosé

5/2/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 95 points

This has gotten some expensive in recent years, and I hate myself for not buying more when I thought value was still great. Nevertheless, this is amazing, and despite the price tag, I think it’s still worth the money. There’s something special about a Selosse champagne - like a Krug, the bouquet is just unique and even my unsophisticated palette can identify it blind. Floral notes with well balanced acidity. Round, long finish. Love it

Beautiful golden color. Honey, vanilla notes. Somehow much more acidic than the other Krugs I’ve had

NV Ulysse Collin Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Les Pierrières

Chardonnay more

4/15/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 89 points

Was very excited to try this because this maker has been all the rage lately. I must say I am somewhat disappointed. It’s a lighter style of champagne with plenty of acidity and floral notes. But to me it’s a bit too simple and not enough complexity. I thought this would be as special as say a Selosse but my expectations turn to be ill-informed… while I would still gladly (sometimes illogically) bid up for a Selosse bottle, I find this to be somewhat overpriced relative to the actual quality of the juice. It’s well made, but not memorable

Well balanced with lots of fruit. But too straight forward and not much complexity. For this price, not good value for money

A little worried that my case hasn’t been stored well because two bottles that I opened both tasted a bit oxidised with very little acidity left. I hope it’s just less than ideal bottle condition?

A classic Napa Chardonnay. Tasted side by side with a Far Niente - very similar. Ripe fruits but still got good acidity. I like it

Chardonnay more

10/10/2021 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 90 points

A bit subdued initially and gradually opened up after a couple hours in the bottle. Color lighter than I expected. Good acidity and freshness with a hint of mint. Floral and oaky, but not overly so. Creamy. Second time tasting this and it felt flatter than the first tasting (finish not as long)... perhaps because I tasted this in quarantine and had no choice but to pair it with room service nasi goreng?

Comparing this to 2007 Arnaud Ente Meursault and 2016 Coche Dury Meursault - this is my favourite. So floral and full of minerality. Fresh and balanced. I prefer this crisper / more elegant expression of Meursault

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay more

2/5/2023 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 92 points

First taste without decanting was a bit disappointing - not enough acidity. But got progressively better over time. When we finished the meal after three hours, the wine was drinking beautifully and the lack of acidity was easier to overlook with other flavours more pronounced. Did not blow me away but it’s quite well made

Can’t go wrong with a Leflaive Batard Montrachet, although this one had a bit more fruit than other vintages I’ve had before. Better after an hour in decanter. Will get better with more aging

Christmas Eve 2021. Toasty, honey notes, very balanced. But for US$900-ish a bottle I still feel that it's overpriced. Is it just me?
