Light golden in color. Nice mousse with lots of tiny bubbles. Ginger and toast on the nose. Smooth, deep and complex on the palate. Ginger and minerals. Slight citrus. Nice finish.

This is a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapes. Deep salmon pink with orange hues. There are a lots of tiny bubbles making a nice mousse. On the nose, there is orange peel, slight strawberries, and apples. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, cherries and apples with a bit of minerality. Long finish. This is very tasty. Drink over the next few years. This will work well with a wide variety of foods. Pulled pork sandwiches to grilled tuna would work.

Excellent showing for this wine. Light silvery gold in color. A nice mousse with lots of smaller bubbles. On the nose, nice red apples notes with just the slightest bit of nuttiness (almonds?). Full bodied but not flamboyant. Lots of minerals and apples on the palate. Good acidity. Worked well with roasted chickpeas and almonds. Long finish. This has a very nice complexity to it and though it tastes mature, it seems like there is still some room to go further. Very dry finish. It is listed as Brut Nature so that makes sense.

A difficult vintage in Champagne, but this one is drinking very well. Golden in color, clear and bright. A persistent bead of small bubbles form a nice mousse. The nose is big with apples, pears, yeast and salinity. Full bodied but good acidity. On the palate, apples, salinity and slight yeast. Long finish. Delicious. This is drinking well but should easily go another five to eight years. Very food friendly, this would be very nice with spicy Thai food.

Light golden in color. The nose is nice with hay, seltzer and slight ginger. Excellent acidity. On the palate, slight cider/oxidized notes. Also a bit of fresh red apples. Very nice balance. Long finish. This is very food friendly and will go with just about any food. It seems like this should last for at least a decade and develop a bit more.

Wow! Its vintage Krug, but still, wow! This is still young but it is opening up now and really hitting its stride. It has a couple of decades left or more, depending how you like older Champagne. Light golden in color. A nice mousse with lots of tiny bubbles. This is a big wine. The nose has toast, slight ginger, cherries and a slight hay note. On the palate, this has a racy backbone of acidity. At the same time, a broad palate with great complexity. Some tart fruit on top with some cherry parfait in the mid-palate and underlying it all, great minerality and slight salinity. An i
