100 points Jane Anson: "Easily the best Champagne I had all year, first tasted at a château lunch. I couldn't stop thinking about it, and eventually bought a bottle for my husband's 50th. Just so much power and precision, while still having the delicacy, easy glamour and the most moreish delivery of fresh acidities and fleshy citrus. At it opens, toasted brioche, liqourice root and oyster shall curl out of the glass. Richard Geoffroy cellar master."

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The NV Champagne Brut Rose is an attractive pale salmon hue, with a fresh perfume of wild strawberry, ripe peach, white and red flowers, a hint of tropical fruit, and grapefruit. The palate is rounded, with fruit up front and through the mid-palate, and it has a silky and fresh lift. There is a wonderful ease and drinkability to this wine, which delivers balance and finesse. (AF)" (11/2022) 93 points James Suckling: "Pale salmon color, showing notes of sliced strawberries, apples, grapefruit and crushed biscuits. Sleek, dry and ...

97 points James Suckling: "Perfumed with apple, green mangoes, perfume and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied with a creamy and integrated texture and a subtle finish. Bitters. Botanicals. Intense." (07/2023) 96 points Decanter: "Silky, narrowly sculpted and serene, Dom Pérignon 2013 is a less hedonistic release than the 2012 (and less intensely energetic than the 2008), but showcases a beautiful mid-place between tension and expressiveness already. Orange-coloured fruit – apricots, mango and orange – play along with snappy lemon syrup and delicate red fruits,...

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "A ripe, mature wine, with spice and acidity at the service of the vanilla and white-fruit flavors. A fine, balanced wine, this blend of all three main Champagne grapes is ready to drink. *Editors' Choice* (RV) " (09/2023) K&L Notes: This great bottle of vintage champagne shows off the advantages of the fresher style of 2014 with a fantastic combination of Puligny like lime and sourdough toast on the nose, and a very light, but surprisingly persistent impression on the palate. It is entirely estate grown from vineyards in Cha...
98 points Vinous: "I remember the first time I tasted the 2002 Dom Pérignon with then-Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy at Hautvillers. It was the upcoming release at the time. As was his custom, Geoffroy served the 2002 in a flight that included a number of previous releases. The bouquet was immediately stunning for its audacity. I had never tasted anything like it. Two thousand-two was a year marked by extreme ripeness in the Chardonnays, and that opulence has always been a big part of the wine’s profile. Today, what strikes me most about the 2002 is its ...

97 points Decanter: "The 172ème édition, based around the 2016 vintage, is a delicate, floral and saline Grande Cuvée at this early stage in its life. The palate it taut, tightly wound, gradually unfurling into toasted fruit bread, rye bread and roasted nuts, wrapped around an intricate and taut lemon core. It's exceptionally long, spicy, rounded and spherical in shape. Notes of sweet unsalted butter round out the finish, which has such length, elegance and balance. 58% of the wine is from the 2016 vintage, which saw a lot of rain in the spring and close...

Crisp and focused with quite some depth packed into the sleek body. Racy acidity drives the very straight, lemony finish Properly dry, even if it doesn’t say Brut on the label. A cuvee of chardonnay and pinot blanc from the vineyards of Eguisheim. Drink now." (06/2022) 92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Gentle creaminess is all that can be discerned on this wine's shy nose. The palate offers stone, yeast, chalk an...

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Made from a blend of vintages from 2007 to 2015, this Champagne shows maturity as well as rich red apple and lemon-zest flavors. With its strong mineral edge, the wine is textured and now ready to drink. (RV)" (06/2020) K&L Notes: The Louis Victor from Coutelas is made in the solera style, from one large barrel containing a perpetual blend. Coutelas lists this as composed of 1/3 each Chardonnay, Meunier, and Pinot Noir, but in fact, it is refreshed with 1/4 of the best wine vinified in a given year, while another 1/4 is take...

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Composed of 65% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir, the NV Champagne Grand Cru Bouzy Les Terres Roses (5% red wine) pours a bright pale pink hue and reveals aromatics of ripe strawberry, fresh bread dough, and candied roses. Juicy and inviting, with a fluffy mousse, it’s full-bodied and has a clean, supple, fruity texture. It’s fresh and savory on the palate, with salty lift and a note of orange zest that leaves a mouthwatering finish. Drink 2024-2040. One gram per liter dosage.

96 points Decanter: "A deep amber colour immediately signals age in this 2004. The nose opens with a top note of bright lemon, bedded in richest creaminess with a lovely notion of white truffle. The palate is super smooth with creamiest foam and still displays immense zestiness, again with an edge of truffle and notes of marmalade. Yet aromatics continue to flicker, like flashes of lemon balm and blood orange on the fresh side, hints of clove and game on the tertiary side. This is evolved yet fresh and serene. No wonder, since the grapes are from grand c...

95 points Decanter: "Although this appears as the 'house' non-vintage, in character it is more akin to a vintage wine that needs some time on cork. Tasted young, the saturated fruit—apricot, spiced apples, grilled lemons—is already expressive, yet not fully unsprung. Based on 2018 with 40% reserves back to 2016, the heat of 2018 is in the fruit profile rather than weight or grip, and is more about persistence than pure power, underlined by the oak élevage yet not coloured by it. 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay. 100% ba...

92 points Decanter: "Billecart-Salmon's 2019-based Brut Réserve continues the impressive rebirth of this cuvée, showing more focus, length and sapidity than previous versions. The dosage has dropped to 3g/L (from 9g/L in 2016), but the delicious nut oil and brown bread reserve wine depth props up roasted lime and apricot fruit. One to watch. 40% Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay.

Fabulous concentration here, as per the house style, while also establishing real elegance and spirit freshness.

92 points Wine Advocate: "In a tall bottle with a white label, the Casa d'Ambra 2022 Ischia Biancolella has lots of rich orchard fruit and pear with light accents of cinnamon or pine nut. Those spicy notes come directly from the skins, because this blend of 85% Biancolella with smaller parts Forastera and San Lunardo grapes sees stainless steel only. This hot vintage delivers creamy, mid-weight concentration with a finish that is driven by marine layers and salty mineral tones. Fruit is sourced from different sides of the island of Ischia, and 180,000 bo...

" (09/2019) K&L Notes: Baron-Fuenté is a négociant that owns almost 90 acres of vines and purchases another 90 acres "sur pied," meaning that they pick the grapes. This is an important distinction as many négociants buy "sur lattes," meaning in bottle! This delicious Champagne is composed of 10% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 60% Meunier and has been aged three years on the lees. It is fermented at relatively cold t...

Full-bodied, satiny and layered, its textural attack segues into a deep, concentrated mid-palate of exceptional purity and cut, concluding with a long, penetrating and mouthwateringly saline finish. As ever, it's a blend of some 70% Pinot Noir with 30% Chardonnay from...

While this tapers off a bit shorter than expected, it’s crisp and wonderfully refreshing.

The present owners, the Estévez Group, acquired it in 1999, working with technical director Eduardo Ojeda. Ojeda is a key figure in the new Sherry world, as one of the partners in Equipo Navazos, a small négociant business that has been influential in showing how shippers can identify special butts for bottling.

It ferments in 600-liter wooden casks without added yeasts, a practice that has become increasingly rare in Jerez. The intensity of the wine’s salinity is remarkable—iodine and salt—coming together with ripe white fruit, scents of nuts and exotic spices. The structure is dry and austere, like drinking the juice of stones. This will last for a decade in the cellar, but it’s impossible to hold onto a bottle if there...
