Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Unfortunately, there is only one new release from Dom Perignon this year. The 2003 is one of the most unusual Dom Perignons I have ever tasted, going back to 1952. Readers will remember that 2003 was a torrid vintage across northern Europe, especially during the critical month of August, when..

"Unfortunately there is only one new release from Dom Perignon this year. The 2003 is one of the most unusual Dom Perignons I have ever tasted, going back to 1952... The 2003 Dom Perignon is a big, broad shouldered wine... It is instead very much its own wine... The 2003 is an atypically, rich,..

"Bright hints of lemon, pears, pastry, white flowers and mint are beautifully woven together. This is a round, sensual Champagne that can be enjoyed now or cellared. Today it is firing on all cylinders, even if it is very young. The 2003 Amour de Deutz is 100% Chardonnay... Anticipated maturity:..

"The 2000 Brut Grand Cru d’Ay Fut de Chene is, not surprisingly, the biggest of these Champagnes. I am quite taken by the wine’s sheer richness and concentration..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Veuve Clicquot's Cave Privée Champagnes are limited edition wines that have been aged for over two decades before being disgorged and released for sale. Allowed to evolve slowly, they take on great depth and complexity. Only 200 cases of these wines have been released in the United..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"There's a streak of minerality and a lacy texture to this floral Champagne, with finely tuned acidity to focus the candied lemon zest, poached pear, nutmeg and ginger hints. A more delicate style, but seamless in its balance and finesse, with a subtle finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Its finesse, harmony, structure and complexity add up to a complete experience."
