Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Pale gold. Ripe pear, orange, creme brulee and ginger on the fragrant nose, with notes of vanilla bean and smoky lees adding complexity. Pliant but sharply focused citrus and orchard fruit flavors gain depth with air, picking up a deeper marzipan nuance. The pear and leesy notes carry through on..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"You can't lose with this classy wine. The refined apple, grapefruit and dough aromas follow through on the palate. Creamy and lively on the finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The tiny mousse tells a lot about the quality of this impressive Champagne. It is quite full in style, with flavors of white currants and a rich, but still bone-dry aftertaste. It is a perfect food Champagne, with structure and a good tension between richness and elegance."

RP: "More Burgundian than Bordeaux-like, Gerard Perse's 2005 white Monbousquet exhibits rich, medium to full-bodied flavors of smoky oak, mango, white peaches, honeysuckle, and nectarine. While delicious, its aging potential is suspect, and I suggest consuming it over the next 4-5 years"

I very much like the underlying sense of tension here as well as the fine balance...

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A tight, racy style, showing citronella, green apple and floral notes, with plenty of energy. Ends with a mouthwatering impression and an aftertaste of mineral."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A ripe, fresh and impressively layered nose speaks of both white and yellow orchard fruit that complements well the rich, generous and lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess enough dry extract such that the palate impression is sappy yet firm and lingering."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvee de Reserve is a gorgeous wine that captures the essence of Chardonnay in the Cote des Blancs. Pure, wiry and wonderfully expressive, the Cuvee de Reserve flows gracefully with layers of varietal fruit from start to finish. This shows superb clarity,..
