 2008 Billecart Salmon Extra Brut Vintage (1.5L) $189.89 Buy Now
97 DE A blend of 65% Pinot Noir consisting of Premier and Grand Crus from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallee de la Marne and 35% Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs. Significantly, this has nine years ageing on its lees (longer than some Prestige Cuvees), the 2008 was first released onto the global market back in March 2019. With an Extra Brut dosage of 4g/l, this is a highly expressive, confident and convincing interpretation of the vintage. Right now, it is youthfully sharp and focused with fine salinity, depth, acidity and balance, and as such is already extremely approachable. The flavour spectrum encompasses toast, oyster shell, citrus, cream and a flinty, mineral depth. There’s supreme balance and elegance here, combined with a hidden underlying power that will continue to emerge and broaden with time. The finish is dry and long. - Decanter
NV Arlaux Brut Grande Cuvee Premier Cru (1.5L) $84.89 Buy Now
92 WA The nose of this wine seduces you straight away with a great balance of autolytic and fruit aromas: toasted hazelnuts, warm apple tart and kaya (coconut and egg) jam. The palate is equally well balanced providing plenty of evolved fruit and toasty / yeasty flavors. Small, fine bubbles, seamless use of dosage and a long nutty finish. This fine if relatively unknown Brut NV takes first place in the derby - a shocker even for me! -Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
NV Gosset Brut Excellence (1.5L) $116.99 Buy Now
93 VM (made with fruit that was sourced from 15 different premier and grand cru sites in the Cote de Blancs and Montagne de Reims; aged for four years on its lees before disgorgement; L1336121): Vivid yellow. Powerful, mineral-accented orchard fruits and Meyer lemon the nose, with a sexy floral nuance adding complexity. Stains the palate with concentrated pear, melon and lemon curd flavors, with a smoky, leesy quality building with aeration. Surprisingly lively for its depth of flavor thanks to bright, nervy acidity and a chalky quality. Closes long and toasty, with excellent clarity and lift. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media
NV Gaston Chiquet Blanc De Blancs d'Ay (1.5L) $122.89 Buy Now
94 VM The NV Blanc de Blancs d'Aÿ is a brilliant wine, and of the many highlights in this range from Chiquet. Although not labeled a vintage Champagne, this release is 100% 2014, a year that continues to impress as the wines start to enter the market. Bright and finely sculpted to its core, the Blanc de Blancs d'Aÿ sizzles with real tension. Lemon peel, mint, green apple, chalk and crushed rocks abound in a striking, laser-focused Champagne that hits all the right notes. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: June, 2018. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
2008 Gaston Chiquet Blanc De Blancs d'Ay (1.5L) $129.89 Buy Now
93 VM The 2008 Blanc de Blancs d'Aÿ, in the magnum late-release, is an absolutely gorgeous wine that brings together the natural richness of Aÿ with plenty of vintage 2008 vibrancy. Dried pear, crushed flowers, mint and spice infuse the 2008 with striking layers of nuance. Aÿ is, of course, best known for Pinot, but in a few choice spots Chardonnay shines, as it does here. Chiquet's Blanc de Blancs d'Aÿ is once again one of the most singular wines in all of Champagne. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2018. - Vinous Media
2010 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Brut Blanc de Blancs Fleuron (1.5L) $169.89 Buy Now
93 WS Featuring rich accents of pastry, chopped hazelnut and lemon curd, this well-cut Champagne offers a finely detailed bead and a delicate skein of aromatic spice, layered with poached apricot and white cherry fruit. Minerally finish. Disgorged April 2018. Drink now through 2029. 30 cases imported. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator
2012 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs (1.5L) $199.99 Buy Now
94+ WA A worthy successor to the super 2008, Delamotte's 2012 Blanc de Blancs is performing very well—despite the fact that it was disgorged as recently as June 2019. Opening in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, dried white flowers, smoke and wheat toast, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a bright girdle of acidity, well-integrated dosage and a fine mousse, the muscularity of the vintage rendered with uncommon finesse. While this is quite expressive for such a recently disgorged vintage Delamotte, the rewards of even only a few years' patience will be considerable. William Kelley – The Wine Advocate
2008 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Brut Millesime de Collection Vieilles Vignes de Chardonnay (1.5L) $279.89 Buy Now
97 DE The best-value sparkling wine of any kind that I have tasted in the past five years. In all its raw, youthful innocence, this is the epitome of introverted, tightly coiled restraint. A beguiling transparency of pure acid drive propels an incredible finish that splashes long and strong with breathtaking, scintillating, crystalline minerality. This is a cuvée of effortless poise and boundless energy. Drinking Window 2023 - 2038 - Tyson Stelzer, Decanter
