Billecart Salmon Brut Rose NV, 0.75L
Pinot Noir / Chardonnay / Pinot Meunier from Champagne, Champagne
"This is by far my favourite rosé: so fresh and mouth-watering .... It is a blend of 35% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Meunier and 30% Chardonnay, cold-fermented as a red wine in stainless steel .... The intensely flowery bouquet is followed by a palate crammed with strawberry and dried flower flavours, then a joyous finish." 96 James Halliday
95 Huon Hooke
"The NV Champagne Brut Rosé is an attractive pale salmon hue, with a fresh perfume of wild strawberry, ripe peach, white and red flowers, a hint of tropical fruit, and grapefruit. The palate is rounded, with fruit up front and through the mid-palate, and it has a silky and fresh lift. There is a wonderful ease and drinkability to this wine, which delivers balance and finesse." 94 Audrey Fricke, JebDunnuck.com
"A delicate pink color is accompanied by gorgeous, sweet cherry, strawberry, and mineral-like scents, assertive medium-bodied flavors, a delicate, crisp personality, and surprising depth as well as persistence. A beautiful berry character in the finish adds to this impeccable rosé’s captivating style." 94 Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate
"Medium salmon pink color, with silver highlights and a delicate, persistent mousse. Fine, fresh cherry fruit, a touch of raspberry, nuances of lime zest and a floral touch. A juicy, white peach note, then mineral and freshly structured with a salty lemony finish; notes of cranberry on the finish." 94 Falstaff Magazin

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

Francis Boulard Petraea III Brut Nature NV, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Champagne, Champagne
“Dried flowers, mint, spice and incense add aromatic intensity to the Pinot fruit. Readers will find a soft, caressing Champagne that is already showing a good bit of complexity …. This is a terrific set of wines from Francis Boulard et Fille, which is now run by Francis’ daughter Delphine. Sustainable farming and low intervention winemaking yield Champagnes that are marked by delineation, focus and remarkable purity. The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Vieilles Vignes is a fine introduction for readers who are new to the wines, while the 2013 Brut Nature Les Rachais shows how special this vintage is in the right hands.” 92, Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

Gaston Chiquet Blanc de Blancs d'Ay NV, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Aÿ, Champagne
“... bursting with scents of apple blossom, crisp orchard fruit, fresh peach and warm bread. Medium-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a charming core of fruit, bright acids and a pinpoint mousse, it’s a bright, expressive bottling that I suspect will pick up a bit of additional depth with a year or two on cork.” disgorged 12/2021

Gonet Medeville Blanc De Noirs Premier Cru NV, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Champagne, Champagne
". . . showing very well, offering up an appealing bouquet of crisp golden orchard fruit, honeycomb, warm biscuits and dried white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and vinous, with ripe but racy acids, good depth at the core and a delicate mousse. Concentrated and structured, another year on the cork will be rewarded by additional complexity, even though this is approachable now." 93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate
"Pale gold with a strong mousse. Intensely mineral nose displays Meyer lemon, lime, green apple, pungent herbs and chalky minerals. Clean and finely etched, with energetic citrus, anise and wet stone flavors underscored by honeysuckle and quinine. An uncompromising Champagne that delivers impressive finishing lift, cut and persistence. There's no way that I'd have guessed this wine was made entirely from red grapes." 92 Josh Raynolds, Vinous

Hugues Godmé Champagne Grand Cru Fins Bois NV, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Verzenay, Champagne
"Subtle nuances of floral and yeast add breadth to the cool and pure green apple and lemon peel-inflected aromas. There is excellent vibrancy and freshness to the still very youthful flavors that are supported by a firm but fine effervescence on the bone dry but not austere finish. This is a complete baby and while it could be enjoyed now I would be strongly inclined to buy this and lay it away for anywhere from 5 to as much as 10 years as the development potential is clearly here." 93 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound

JL Vergnon Blanc de Blancs 'Conversation' Grand Cru Brut NV Disgorged Sept 2022 NV, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne
“The nose of the NV Champagne Grand Cru Conversation Brut lifts with a stylistically sweet perfume that translates through the entire range. It offers notes of sweet pastry, ripe peach, and honeydew melon, and the palate is medium-bodied and has ripe juicy fruit as well as a kiss of sweetness, with green apple candy, key lime, and white flowers. Approachable now, it would make a wonderful aperitif or an after dinner reset, given there is a hint of that generosity from the dosage. Drink over the next 8-10 years.”

JL Vergnon Blanc de Blancs Eloquence Extra Brut NV, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne
The NV Extra- Brut Eloquence Grand Cru is another impressive wine in this range from Vergnon. The low dosage of three grams per liter brings out freshness and energy. Lemon peel, mint, white flowers and crushed rocks build effortlessly in the glass. The release, based on 2017 with 20% reserve wines, is gorgeous. Give this a good bit of air, as it opens nicely over time. Disgorged May 2021. 93 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Nov 2022

Jerome Prevost La Closerie Fac-simile Extra Brut Rose Champagne LC18 NV, 0.75L
Pinot Meunier from Gueux, Champagne
"Disgorged without dosage, the NV Extra Brut Rosé Fac-similie (LC18) bursts with aromas of red berries, plums and spices mingled with freshly baked bread and dried white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and sapid, with delicate structure and an enveloping core of irresistibly succulent fruit, lively acids and a long, saline finish. While the Fac-similie shares the charm of its white counterpart, its gently phenolic grip seems to temper some of the exuberance of the vintage." 96 Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate

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

Jose Dhondt Rose de Saignee Brut Champagne NV, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Saudoy, Champagne
“The NV Brut Rosé de Saignée is easily one of the most compelling wines I tasted this year. It boasts extraordinary depth and richness in its many layers of fruit. Pomegranate, freshly cut roses and mint are some of the nuances that add complexity, but this is really about fruit and structure, both of which the wine has in spades. Dhont's Rosé is a big, vinous wine meant for the dinner table. I loved it.” 94, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Krug Grande Cuvee 171eme Edition NV, 0.75L
Chardonnay / Pinot Noir from Champagne, Champagne
"The tightness and tension of this is impressive considering the youngest wine from this is 2015 (hot and dry year), with some wines going back to 2000. Ginger and orange zest. Some creme brulee. It's medium-bodied with apple, pie crust and floral character. It's salty and zesty yet, at the same time, complex and gorgeous. Chamomile and other floral teas highlight everything. Turns rich and flavorful at the finish. Terrific release. Really takes off at the end. Drink or hold." 99 JamesSuckling.com

Pierre Gerbais Grains de Celles Rosé NV, 0.75L

"…Creamy and ample, the Rosé exudes a striking interplay of richness and freshness. The Rosé is 55% Pinot Noir (including 10% still wine), 22.5% Chardonnay and 22.5% Pinot Blanc, in other words, the same blend as the straight [non- rosé] NV, with the addition of 10% still red Pinot. Readers will find an expressive, vinous Rosé that captures the generous style of the Aube and Celles-sur-Ource.” 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Tarlant BAM! Brut Nature NV, 0.75L
Pinot Blanc / Arbanne / Petit Meslier from Oeuilly, Champagne
"The NV Brut Nature BAM!, Tarlant’s Pinot Blanc, Arbanne and Petit Meslier blend, is terrific. It offers notable energy and tension, with lovely complexity from the perpetual reserve that is used to complement the base vintage .... Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, tangerine oil and lightly honeyed notes linger nicely, with a whole range of bright saline accents that lend further energy and focus. This release is terrific." 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"I love Benoît and Mélanie Tarlant’s BAM bottling, which takes its name from its cépages of Pinot Blanc, Arbanne and Petit Meslier .... The wine offers up a beautifully complex bouquet of white peach, hazelnut, brioche, a complex base of chalky soil tones, a hint of buttery oak and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with a superb core, very refined mousse, lovely focus and a long, complex finish. As I have said before, with extended aging on the fine lees de rigeur for all of the Tarlant bottlings, the acids have mellowed nicely prior to the wine’s release and the lack of dosage is hardly an issue here like it can be with so many other examples of Brut Nature, which are simply too young and snappy when hitting the market to provide drinking pleasure beyond the circle of non-dosé purists." 93 John Gilman, View From The Cellar
"Fun aromas of dried green mangos and green apples with ginger. Full-bodied with zippy acidity and a long, intense finish. Lots of dried fruit. Spiced pear, too. Really attractive and delicious. Pinot blanc, arbanne and petit meslier. From 2011 vintage. Disgorged June 2021. Drink now." 93 Points, James Suckling

A fine bouquet with hints of apple and citrus fruit carry through to the palate and there is balanced but mouth-tingling acidity which enhances the lingering finish." Winemaker Notes
