Producer: Bouquin Dupont Fils
A wonderful champagne, 100% Chardonnay of Avize from vineyards more than 60 years old. A base of citrus fruit melted with the scent, and taste, of a custard where there are also two drops of lemon juice. Delicious and enjoyable.
Producer: Jacquesson
In Cuvée 748, reserve wines enrich its complexity without ever overshadowing the personality of the 2020 base vintage. The result is a refined, authentic Champagne that captivates with its depth and purity.

A crystalline, pale-gold effervescence that opens with bright citrus zest — think lemon confit and tangerine peel — layered over rich brioche, white pepper and delicate floral hints. There’s minerality and a whisper of salinity that keeps it finely tuned.
Producer: Podere Poggio Scalette
The 2018 Il Carbonaione is one of the most elegant editions of this flagship wine I can remember tasting. Il Carbonaione is usually a rich, bombastic wine, but the 2018 is sleek, gracious and remarkably refined.
Producer: Marie Demets
The Champagne Tradition from Marie Demets in Cote des Bar offers a delightful sensory experience. It presents a pale golden hue with delicate effervescence dancing in the glass. On the nose, it entices with aromas of crisp green apples, ripe pear, and hints of citrus zest, complemented by subtle floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle.

Producer: Philipponnat
The 1999 Clos des Goisses flows from the glass with the essence of minerals, chalk, smoke ash, white peaches, pears, flowers and sweet oak. This is a muscular, powerful wine that needs serious bottle age to come around, yet it possesses striking clarity and detail in its aromatics and flavors. Clos des Goisses is one of the most rewarding wines to drink...

Producer: Krug
The NV Grande Cuvée 171ème Edition, based on the 2015 vintage, is every bit as impressive as it was the last time I tasted it. Creamy, layered and resonant, the 171 is seriously impressive. The style is one that favors tension over volume. Lemon peel, white flowers and white pepper open first. Hints of marzipan, tangerine peel and spice add an exotic...

Producer: Louis Roederer
The 2014 Cristal impresses with a stunning combination of fruit density and linear energy that bring to mind a hypothetical blend of 2012 and 2008. At times, the bubbles feel totally wrapped up in waves of creamy, resonant fruit to the point the mousse is barely perceptible, especially with aeration.
Producer: Marie Demets
In the glass, it presents a pale straw color with a fine, persistent mousse, creating a captivating visual allure. On the nose, delicate aromas of white flowers, green apple, and lemon zest intertwine with subtle hints of toasted almonds and a touch of honeyed sweetness.
