The 12 Champagnes of Christmas
This glorious Champagne is sort of a Ghost of Christmas Past that has haunted us with the memory of not being able to stock it after a flash sell out that occured when James Suckling's rave review appeared last Holiday Season. Well, this year we have acquired, what we hope is, an ample supply to put an end to our L.P. nightmare.
JAMES SUCKLING 100 POINTS - "This is really something. Electric on the palate. The aromas are so complex with sliced fresh and dried ginger, subtle pie crust, tarte tatin and hints of nutmeg with some salted caramel. Toasted bread, too. Always subtle. The palate is full- to medium-bodied yet hemmed-in with a freshness and balance that draws you back. Savory and vibrant. It's full of energy. Spectacular. Fascinating. Symphonic blend of 2012, 2008 and 2007. 65% of the 2012, 25% of the 2008 and 10% of the 2007. Eight grand cru. Chardonnay 58% and 42% pinot noir. Disgorged February 2023. 10 years on the lees. 7g/L dosage."
