Community Tasting Notes 313

  • Treldman Likes this wine: 90 points

    February 14, 2024 - Lovely little champagne. Powerful nose of brioche, pear, lemon, and yeast, and a delicious palate of lemon rind, hay, flint, apple, and a hint of almonds. The mousse is fine and very long lasting, with excellent mouthfeel and great zippy acidity. A lot of fun.

  • remyworldpeace Likes this wine: 92 points

    November 7, 2023 - Disgorged July 2022. Lemon rind and lemon along with yellow plum and the skin of yellow plum giivng a nice bitterness. Green apple and a touch of smokey flint. Nice dark undertones adding complexity.

    October 28, 2023 - Crisp, semi-tart, and refreshing.

  • BillBell73 Likes this wine:

    October 16, 2023 - This obviously has seen some age before release. Beautiful nose with toasty, nutty, leesy notes. The palate is a little underwhelming, unfortunately…could use more structure and acidity and the dosage overwhelms the wine and dominates the finish. Not bad for $30, though.

Terry Theise Estate Selections

    2011 Champagne Catalog, 6/1/2011 (link)

    (NV Gaston Chiquet Tradition Brut) ($52.00) Now 80% ’07 and 20% ’06, disgorged 8/10, 35%CH/45%PM/20%PN, from Hautvillers, Dizy and Mareuil. Nothing new to say except to observe how well this manages the base ’07 – and to note it’s a year older than most growers’ NVs. It is, as always, polished, perfect down-the-middle Champagne; articulate and focused and charming.
