Special Club Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend
Chigny-Les-Roses, Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France
One of my favorites of the evening and from a founding family member of the Special Club wines. Made from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir that sees full malolactic fermentation. This is classic Champagne at its best, a true, natural and excellent representation of the mastery of good farming practices and sound viniculture methods.

Nose is herbal, saline. Red fruit on palate segues to earth, wet stone, breakfast pastry. Enjoyable but I would have liked personally to have seen a little more acidity.

Love this, lemon and brioche, some lime zest. Mouthfeel is grand, and the acid is in check and well balanced. Bravo!

A horrific day is coming to a close. This beautiful 2006 champagne is consoling. Fresh crisp apples with your typical champagne aroma. As Napoleon said: In victory you deserve champagne, in defeat, you need it

Creamy mouthfell; strong acid line, citrus and brioche notes; early yeast nose blew off.

No guess work or feelings of anxiety required when it comes to Special Club. Lassalle does the label justice!
