Grande Fine Champagne, Charente

Bollinger

La Grande Année Brut Champagne Blend 2005

Quite pale lemon yellow colour . Still quite constant fine perlage . Some candied peel , light meaty notes , touch of nutty , yeasty richness . On the palate this is quite intense and fresh still , quite full bodied , with some citrus peel , roasted nuts . This is drinking perfectly now , quite rich but enough freshness to balance . Good length, balanced acidity , with a lightly toasty finish . At Noizé , London , 14th Jan, 2026 — 11 days ago

Krug

Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

Always a treat, worthy of a special occasion. Quite lemony on cork pop, fleshed out a bit with some time and air. Classic Krug yeastiness and fine mousse. Some pleasing bitterness on the finish. Excellent acid. Delicious. — 7 months ago

Just insane. Nose is so fine. Lemon oil, lemon pith, yeast and toast. Glorious baking spices. Hint of oxidation adds to the allure. Palate is so good. Unreal fine mousse. I mean FINE. Top notch finesse and elegance and wonderful sapidity. My god the pitter patter on the finish of spice, acids and fine textural mousse stuff is phenomenal. This is as good as it gets in Germany. — 8 months ago

Brut Grande Cuvée Premier Cru Champagne Blend

What a darling #champagne! Nose fairly closed when cold, touches of yeasty notes. Palate is incredible, dosage is perfect, so much verve and energy with fine bubbles on the palate. Need to pick up more of this. #costcowines — 2 years ago

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

La Grande Dame Brut Champagne Blend 1990

Quite young looking lemon , just a hint of gold . very fine bubbles , that dissipate quiet quickly in a white wine glass . Lots of roasted nuts , toasted bread , caramel , and a oyster shell , caramelised lemon peel , saffron , lemongrass and a hint of curry . On the palate this has more of the caramel notes , with saffron , some lemon, mineral a quite tight , slightly astringent acidity and mineral finish. Not overly intense but quite good length , with mineral , oyster shell , toasty , brioche finish . This is fully mature and is at peak in magnum , drink now and over the next 5 -10 years . Disgorged March 2020 — 8 months ago
