Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut NV, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Champagne, Champagne
"Really attractive ripe and pure chardonnay sourced from the Côte de Blancs villages of Avize, Cramant, Chouilly and Mesnil-sur-Oger. This has bright ripe peaches and nectarines in addition to mangoes, lemons and – not to mention some background chalky aromas. The palate's a riot of fleshy and flavorsome chardonnay fruit with a helping of stone fruits and another of green mango flavors and deeper-set citrus zest. Seamless balance flows to the finish." 95 James Suckling.com
"Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs lends itself to a Champagne that is finely textured and impressively fruity and structured. The wine has a steely edge that suggests this bottling is young but that also has beautiful fruit and minerality." 94 Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
"Medium yellow-green color, silver highlights, and a fine, persistent mousse. Delicate floral undertones with white stone fruit nuances and notes of subtle mango, floral honey, meadow herbs, biscuit, apricot, and almonds. Creamy texture, juicy and elegant, with a delicate acidity; yellow apple and baked bread on a mineral-salty finish with very good length; a multi-faceted accompaniment to food." 94 Falstaff Magazin
"Exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, tart stone fruit, freshly baked bread and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, its sweet core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky structure." 93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Bollinger Brut Special Cuvee NV, 0.75L
Champagne Blend from Champagne, Champagne
“If it’s good enough for James Bond, it’s good enough for you. Bollinger Champagne has made a number of cameos in James Bond films over the year. This non-vintage Special Cuvée is an example of a classic Champagne done well. Notes of marzipan on the nose and the palate give toastiness and leesy notes, specifically sourdough. It’s classic for a reason and would only elevate any table it finds itself on. (Drink between 2022-2032).” 95, Brianne Cohen, Decanter, Dec 2023

Henriot Cuvee Hemera Grand Cru 2006, 0.75L
Champagne Blend from Champagne, Champagne
“The 2006 Henriot “Cuvée Hemera” is a beautifully refined, complex and youthful example of the vintage. The wine is composed from a cépages of fifty percent each chardonnay and pinot noir, sourced from some of the very finest crus in all of Champagne. The pinot noir hails from the Montagne de Reims villages of Verzy, Verzenay and Mailly, while the chardonnay comes from Avize, Chouilly and Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte de Blancs. The wine was aged twelve years sur latte and finished with a dosage of five grams per liter. The wine is truly stunning on the nose, wafting from the glass in an elegant blend of apple, pear, a touch of hazelnut, warm bread, a beautiful base of soil and plenty of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with a superb core of fruit, bright, zesty acids, precise focus, elegant mousse and a very long, complex finish that beautifully weaves fruit tones with mineral undertow. The 2006 vintage was a hot year and this wine’s steely spine of acidity and impeccable balance are testament to just how great a bottle the Hemera has turned out to be! I cannot wait to taste it in a more classically racy vintage like 2008 or 2012! Great juice. (Drink between 2022-2050).” 95, John Gilman, View From The Cellar, May 2022

Jerome Prevost La Closerie Les Beguines LC18 Extra-Brut NV, 0.75L
Pinot Meunier from Gueux, Champagne
"The NV Extra Brut Les Béguines LC 18 is a wine of immense charm and generosity of spirit. Mingling aromas of walnuts, fenugreek, pear, yellow orchard fruit, licorice, white flowers and buttery pastry with evocations of peach and apricot, it's full-bodied, fleshy and voluptuous, with a broad and textural attack that segues into an ample, enveloping core, concluding with a sapid finish. "These were the nicest grapes I've ever seen when assessed simply as fruit," Prévost remarks, contrasting the 2018 crop with the smaller berries and thicker skins of, for instance, 2015 "which were great grapes from which to make wine." 95 Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Pierre Gimonnet Blanc de Blancs Chouilly Grand Cru Spécial Club 2015, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Cote de Blancs, Champagne
"A super-elegant and very graceful champagne that you sink into like a huge, velvet sofa. The ravishing orange-blossom aromas make this really hard to resist! Very suave and silky finish. From vines planted in 1951 and 1991." 95 James Suckling
"The 2015 Extra- Brut Special Club Chouilly Grand Cru is a very pretty, exotic wine. Tangerine oil, jasmine, lemon peel, mint and white pepper add tons of aromatic flair to this airy, gracious Champagne. There is a sense of transparency to the Chouilly that is quite appealing. Readers should expect a taut, linear style. Dosage is 4 grams per liter." Disgorged Oct 2021. 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Nov 2022
