“Disgorged this year with 0.6 grams per liter dosage, the 2016 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Monts Ferrés unwinds in the glass with aromas of crisp nashi pear, yellow stone fruit, mirabelle plum, buttery pastry, honeycomb and oyster shell. Full-bodied, pure and seamless, it's deep, enveloping and vinous, with a tensile spine of acidity, an ultra-refined mousse and a long, saline finish. Produced from a parcel in Vertus that was farmed organically and biodynamically, this is one of two lieu-dit bottlings produced by Charles Doyard before his untimely passing in 2017.” 97, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Dec 2023

Diebolt-Vallois Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut NV, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Cramant, Champagne
“The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs is mostly based on 2020, picked in Chouilly, Cuis and Epernay. An immediate hit of saltiness on the nose announces that this is not about fruit but soil. Fine mousse and bright slenderness immediately spell elegance and verve. Concentration on the mid-palate, despite the svelte body, brings salty depth and a touch of blond baguette crust. Freshness, verve and elegance make this a quintessential, taut blanc de blancs. It's apero or oysters, you decide. Dosage is 3gr/L. Lot LB20. - Anne Krebiehl MW (Drink between 2023-2030).” 92, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2023

“Disgorged in June 2023, with zero dosage, the 2015 Champagne Grand Cru Mesnil-Sur-Oger pours a bright yellow/silver color, and is ripe with aromas of bread dough, baker’s yeast, fresh honeysuckle, and preserved lemon. It packs in a lot of electricity and intensity on the palate, with a broad core of citrus that powers through, and although it’s medium-bodied, it fills those shoes to the max with its drive. Persistent with citrus and vibrant acidity, it offers an energetic and full mousse to balance it all out. Packed with notes of citrus oils on the palate, it’s a very strong effort from the vintage that may well surprise in terms of its aging potential.

Heritage clones lend quite a bit of aromatic expression, pushing out peach, honeysuckle and stone notes. There’s also notable minerality and texture stemming from the decomposed granite soils and the vines gaining maturity (15 years old at the time of harvest). The 2022 is alluring in its vibrant, lemon-juice-like acidity, inner sweetness and that oh-so-enticing little lick of salty vanilla oak on the finish.” 94, Billy Norris, Vinous, Jul 2024

Next is from limestone soils and raised in oak, which seems to have a little more tension and race. A third from Les Vignes Blanches, raised solely in used oak, has a pleasant reduction on the nose, again, with fine tension and good substance towards the finish. Together, these should provide the foundation for a well-crafted and quite complex Pouilly-Fuissé, though production will be severely reduced compared to other vintages - just eight barrels.” 89-91, Neal Martin, Vinous, Jun 2022

Chardonnay from Canterbury, South Island
“The 2020 Field Of Fire Chardonnay is flinty and spiced, layered with curry leaf, tobacco, brine, preserved citrus rind and hints of crushed nuts. In the mouth, the wine is rich and undulating and saturating. The fruit is wrapped around a core of scintillating acidity—it really penetrates the palate and touches the soul. It plays a defibrillation role within the fruit. We all have different preferences in wine, but I am absolutely turned on by the fruit and acid interplay here. Thrilling. Detailed. Rich. Bunch weights can be almost double the Lion's Tooth bunches. I asked Steve Smith, MW, ‘How big is big?’ A laugh, in response, then he says, ‘Well, we get clone 95 bunches coming in sometimes at 120 grams (maximum) and Mendoza between 50- and 80-gram bunches.’ Winemaker Huw Kimsch explains, ‘The bunches are about 30% or more smaller in the Lion's Tooth Vineyard.’ The wine spent 22 months in barrel and four months in tank prior to bottling. Due to wild ferments, it struggled to get through full malolactic fermentation. This is a wonderful thing, I feel. It's an exciting drink. The pH is around three, total acidity is around eight.”
