WINE & SPIRITS 92 - "This mult-vintage blend has acacia notes, similar to the '99 Brut but with more reserve wine richness. The broad texture carries earthy tones and a radish-like acidity, supple and bold. A substantial wine with the pomp and circumstance for a celebratory dinner."

is vinified in oak barrels. Despite the oak, this rosé is actually on the delicate side, emphasizing light, lively red-fruit flavors—admittedly, this could be because it's released very young, and I have never tasted it with any sort of post-disgorgement age.

We introduced this co-op-produced Champagne from the famed Cote des Blancs village of Mesnil-sur-Oger back in late 2008 and it has been a staff favorite ever since. One of the unique Read More...
aspects of Le Mesnil Champagnes is that the vineyards of the village are planted with a special clone of Chardonnay that is noted for its pronounced apple-like varietal flavor and for its penetrating perfume. This Blanc de Blancs honors its noble origins by offering up billowing aromas of wisteria and apple blossoms followed by vibrant tastes of pippin apples and bosc pears interlaced with inflections of chalk and lemon meringue. A deliciously authoritative aperitif that works well with or without food.

Lilbert-Fils 2004 Cramant Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne. Light, bright yellow with a fine bead. Highly expressive aromas of pink grapefruit, lemon zest, honeysuckle and dusty minerals. Read More...
Nervy but surprisingly deep, offering palate-staining citrus and pear flavors and an exotic floral quality on the back end. The mineral element adds urgency to the long, sappy, very precise finish. I really like this wine's balance. 92 Points, Josh Reynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Nov/Dec 09.

with elegance, subtlety, and gorgeous fruit that is not dressed up by excessively sweet dosages(5-15 grams of sugar is the range for brut, but chez Lilbert stays within 6-8g and their Champagne's pressure is lower than the norm). As Andrew Jefford observes in his book, The New France, This tiny 4-ha Cramant domaine is the source of some very fine and long-lived Blanc de Blancs madeby Georges Lilbert and his son Bertrand. The style is less soft, creamy, and flowery than the Blancde Blancs of most large houses might leave the drinker expecting: Cramant here has a taut, steely,rigorous quality....

Elodie Bosser and her mother Bernadette run this boutique house located in Hautvillers a Premier Cru village situated on the steep slopes of the southern flank of the Montagne de Reims. Read More...
Elodie happens to be a friend and protégé of Patrick Piuze who is arguably our staff’s favorite Chablis producer. Like Piuze, Bosser is a fanatic about working only with best possible fruit and making sure that its quality is reflected in the finished product. A blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, this is a forward and engaging Champagne that greets one with fresh aromas of biscuits, lemon curd and poached pears. Refreshingly crisp, but not austere in the least, the palate presents a well-meshed melange of peach, lemon drop and mineral notes followed up with a well-tapered finish of toast and baking spices. Simply put, Brut Tradition is a versatile and crowd-pleasing Champagne that exudes a class rarely found in its price range.

"As usual, this is made from four top parcels in Oger: Zalieux, Beaudures, Barbettes and Chênets. It shows the typically racy structure of the vintage, feeling nervy and taut, although it also has a core of rich, creamy ripeness, focused and shaped by the acidity. It finishes with delicate aroma and sleek length, and it promises to develop well with time—I would put it away for another five years at least. Last tasted: 3/12."
