Deep copper gold. Tiny, tiny bead. Much more obvious acidity, age and (lightly oaky?) savour on the nose than Cristal 2013. Aérien with blossomy notes with a little mandarin. Very marked acidity on the palate. A real wake-up call! Sleek and fresh and truly spring-like with a light yeasty note on the very long finish. The most pleasure to be had initially is in the nose and the finish. The palate is still a bit of shock. This should have a long life. Bone-dry finish and playing the intellectual card. Throbs on the palate with all its vibrancy. Long. Tighter than the 168ème Édition. Structure dominates fruit.Inc. GSTSG$2,539.16 -

From a single plot of western exposition and fermented and aged in barrels, the bright yellow 2019 Champagne Premiere Cru Blanc De Blancs Les Grandes Crayères Extra Brut is fresh and lifted with mineral character, offering notes of chalky freshness, bright lemon balm, delicate toasted incense, and fresh apple. Medium-bodied and focused, this age-worthy wine is all about its mineral texture and fine, focused mousse. There’s fantastic definition to the wine and a long persistence through the finish, with a hint of warmth. Angular and bright, it commands another couple of years in the cellar. The wood never feels heavy or even very noticeable at this point and will likely help to round this out if stored properly and given time. Drink 2025-2045. Disgorged November 2022. 2 grams per liter dosage.In BondSG$128.00 -
