Cellar/Tasting Notes " The 1999 Brut Cuvee William Deutz offers up ripe, tropical fruit, sweet spices, butterscotch and toastiness in a big, extroverted style.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A ripe but airy, cool and ultra elegant nose speaks of restrained red berry fruit nuanced with plenty of Gevrey-style earth that is also well reflected by the strikingly detailed, pure and harmonious medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a focused, linear, dusty and energetic finish. This beauty..

Cellar/Tasting Notes "I had very high expectations for the 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Dom Ruinart and was not disappointed. Actually, that is an understatement. The 2002 is a flat-out great Dom Ruinart... Layers of sweet, perfumed fruit emerge with no end in this subtle, sexy Dom Ruinart... The 2002 convinces for its..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A marvelous effort from proprietress Christine Valette. Displaying a saturated blue/purple hue, a beautiful perfume and seemless integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, and a multilayered palate."
