December 31, 2023 - Disgorged July 2015. Very smooth and integrated. Best enjoyed as a compliment to middle eastern food, rather than on its own.

December 16, 2023 - Simple but yummy with 8 years of bottle age. A formerly favorite producer that I may have outgrown.

November 23, 2023 - No formal notes as was consumed during Thanksgiving prep
Beautiful fine mousse - delicate aromas of stone fruit and mild brioche/ yeast aromas
Palate is just perfect IMO - beautiful acidity and fruit is so precise - really no obvious yeast/ bread notes at all on the palate
I really enjoyed this
Disgorged 4/22 -

July 1, 2023 - Medium straw. April 2022 disgorgement. A somewhat quiet but still quite pretty nose offers aromas of dried apples and pears, Christmas fruitcake, preserved cherries, cured lemon, vanilla, saltine crackers and a touch of chalky minerality. On the palate this is medium to full bodied, it enters with soft edges and a gentle, caressing sort of mousse but its bright acidity tightens up the finish. Perhaps not the most complex wine at Chez Chiquet, but it is very, very easy to to drink.

2011 Champagne Catalog, 6/1/2011 (link)(NV Gaston Chiquet "Cuvée de Réserve" Brut) ($68.00) The same varietal blend as the basic NV, but much older and more tertiary, as was the intent. 13% ’01, 6% ’02, 3% ’98 and 78% ’04, disgorged 12/10. Funny how the same RS as in the regular NV seems sweeter in this more mature assemblage. A lovely 2nd-stage Champagne that’s currently held back by a phenolic nip, but time on the cork will help.
