Friday, December 18, 2009 at 10:52AM N/V Pierre Gimonnet Cuis 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs $50
The best value champagne on the market. From a small producer based in the village of Cuis, this sparkling chardonnay is delicately perfumed, fine, intensely yeasty, balanced, finishing soft and creamy. (Exclusive to Vintage Cellars.)
2002 Drappier Grand Sendrée Brut $69.95
This was Charles de Gaulle's favourite champagne and is predominantly sourced from the Aube. It's a distinctive style that many will love: big, powerful with yeasty, briochey, almost vegemitey, oxidative flavours, complex, bold and tingly with explosive acidity.
N/V Pol Gessner Brut $42.95
This is a budget-priced label for the large firm of Marne et Champagne. The current non-vintage blend is fresh, clean and lively, has reasonable depth and richness, and drinks well. Very good value. (Exclusive to Woolworths.)
N/V Lanson Black Label $59.95
A well-priced non-vintage champagne that is tight and restrained yet bold and powerful with intense yeasty, biscuity flavours and taut zippy acidity.
1999 Mumm Cordon Rouge $95
A classy vintage champagne that is delightfully perfumed, fresh, clean and vibrant, intensely flavoured, powerful and zesty.
2002 Taittinger $140
Sheer class: intense yeasty, vegimitey flavours that are rich, bold and powerful and creamy texture that is sure to appeal.
