"Excellent finesse in this wine that is still fresh with lime and citrus, but it also hints at lovely hazelnut, nutmeg and coffee bean notes. A very long orange-peel-scented finish. A touch lighter than the '82.”

"The 2006 Brut Cristal has put on quite a bit of weight since I first tasted it earlier this year. It is a powerful, structured Cristal layered with considerable fruit. Chardonnay seems to play the leading role in 2004, at least today. Cristal is often accessible young, but that is far from the case here. This is a serious, painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience. Readers who are willing to spend some time with the wine today will find a super-impressive, complete Cristal. The 2006 Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay."

Rating: 98 Points (James Suckling)“A firm and vivid Champagne with a precise, focused palate. Full-bodied and dry. It’s very layered and bright with light pineapple, peach, praline, cooked-apple and stone aromas and flavors. It’s very subtle and focused at the end. Integrated with richness and high acidity. Good depth. Reminds me of the 1995. Very clean, solid. Lovely to drink already but will age nicely".

“This wine has garnered quite a number of international awards, and it is easy to see why. Aged for 28 months on the lees and initially released in January 2017, Richard Hemming, MW notes that this vintage "displays all the toasty aromas of classic lees-aged sparkling wine, and the fruit has a vivid, crunchy green-apple flavour that seems characteristically English."”

“…arguably one of the very best traditional method wines made in the U.S. Experience the full bouquet of a brut rosé is by drinking it from a Burgundy glass. This will wrap you in a cloud of ginger, fresh strawberry pulp, baby powder, brioche, and a whiff of grenadine in this incredibly fruit-driven bottling with an exquisite palate. It's a uniquely Oregonian sparkling wine that gets its richness from low yields.”

Tasting Notes:

“Champagne, France- This yellow gold Champagne has a vibrant yellow-gold color. Aromas of yellow and white stone fruit, biscuit, and anise waft from the glass. on the palate there are powerful flavors of brioche and citrus.”

"The famous yellow-labelled Veuve Cliquot is known for its consistent quality and balance between power and finesse. Pinot Noir is the predominant grape used in the blend, which gives a robust core structure, with Pinot Meunier adding body and Chardonnay the necessary freshness and elegance. This is a well-loved wine suitable for any celebration for day-to-day indulgence."

"This has the bright savor of a strawberry dipped in sea salt. It's light, with a hint of smokiness to balance the fruit. Together with the fine bubbles, that fruit savor will clean up after cured sausages and other charcuterie."
