The blend of cuvée, of which 20% is vinified in oak, has been made with a strong dominance of "Grands Crus Pinot Noir. It promises a subtle richness of lavours and an ageing potential worthy of a great vintage champagne. A soft yellow hue with a golden shimmer which is naturally underlined by an abundant and dynamic effervescence. There is a subtle richness of flavours (white and yellow stone fruits, mandarin zest and citron flavours). The finish exhibits a well-proportioned structure and ageing potential which is symbolic of champagne vintages. This champagne exhibits a delicious fruit intensity with elegant notes of orchard fruit, nuts and citrus fruits. A pure and nuanced sensory development comes from gourmet notes of marzipan, fresh pineapple and greengage plums. Enjoy with exceptional fish dishes, shellfish, the finest hams, risotto.

Wine EnthusiastDefinitely dry, this impressively crisp wine is tightly textured, mineral in character and with great fruit. Its acidity and taut tangy character are part of a sophisticated wine that is still maturing. The hints of toast are there, but this beautiful wine will take a while to show its full potential. Drink from 2019.

Wine SpectatorSleek acidity firms this tightly meshed 2007, a racy frame for flavors of crème de cassis, toast, ground ginger and candied lemon zest. Long and minerally on the finish. Drink now through 2027.

Chartogne-Taillet Brut Cuvée St. Anne

I drink a lot of this wine at home, and every bottle makes me glad. It's a Champagne of impact; it's just earthy enough to be marked as a grower but just polished enough to indicate fine Champagne. It's full of character, solid enough to be toothsome, silky enough to gliss across the tongue.Base wines are unfiltered. 80-20 steel to wood. Average 32-year vines.

H. Billiot Fils Cuvée Laetitia

H. Billiot Fils Cuvée Laetitia

What I tasted was entirely open and forthright, with clear intensity and more Chardonnay hawthorne. It's nowhere near "modern" but it is more up-to-date; there's more greengage and spiciness, more scallop and saffron, and less of the funky temperament we knew (and yes, loved). This stacks up against any Champagne you'll ever find; a true Tête de Cuvée. In principle this is an ongoing solera freshened whenever there's wine of sufficient quality; this one goes back to `83 (though last year he said `85; things are a little fungible with our hero sometimes) but in any event it is a tremendous showing for this lovely wine; focus, power and complexity, wonderfully direct with ultra-fine diction; nervy and incisive, long and intense.
