Interesting Champagne, a couple of years ago we had a comparison of the white label Pol Roger and this one. All agreed that the more basic white label (a.k.a. Reserve) is outscoring the Vintage.
This time to my surprise, the Vintage beats the Reserve by a bit. The roundness of the Reserve was a bit boring - but don’t get me wrong, both are super-sexy.
N. Elegant, Brioche, Almond but also herbs and mineralic notes (wet stone in the sun), nice complexity underneath
T. Boom! Really cool acidity (5 days open) and great complexity, still a curvy beauty with also some butter hints and oak, all very well built in!

NV Matoševic Chardonnay Barely Legal
3/17/2024 - Thomas D. Likes this wine: 91 Points
The wine has no vintage.
Lot: L010422
I guess it has been bottled 2022.
I drank a Magnum a couple of weeks ago, which was a little bit difficult.
This one is very good (normal bottle) with aged notes and an elegant taste. Champagne-rivaling and sexy!
