Terry Theise Estate Selections

  2012 Austrian Catalog, 6/1/2012 (link)

  (NV Schloss Gobelsburg Brut Reserve) ($35.00) Still mostly GrüVe, and continues to be silky and classy. The current lot (“L04/12”) will be the last one without a disgorgement date on the label; it’s based on 2009 with 20% reserve wine in the quasi-solera style many Champagne growers also deploy; this one has an exotic fruit note along with its complex herbal tones. Next disgorgement scheduled for July or September depending on need.

Terry Theise Estate Selections

• By Terry Theise
  2011 Austrian Catalog, 5/1/2011 (link)

  (NV Schloss Gobelsburg Brut Réserve) ($36.00) Now based on 2007 with reserve wine (the last assemblage, i.e., the quasi-solera system employed by Billiot and Peters among others), disgorged late 2010 – disgorgement dates “are coming,” Michi assures me. The aromas are more sedate, less overtly fruity than before; the palate is silky and gracious, the mousse unusually delicate and the whole wine is refined, as befits a couer de cuvée, which in fact this is. I don’t know when it’s ever been better.
