COESSENS LARGILLIER Vendange Entiere, Coteaux Champenois

VAZART-COQUART & FILS 82/15 Blanc de Blancs, Champagne

ROGER POUILLON Les Banchiens Brut Nature, Champagne

LARMANDIER-BERNIER Les Chemins d'Avize Extra Dry, Champagne

With 10 years on lees it is the patience to allow this wine to mature at its own pace. This excellent sparkling exhibits all the elegance, power and vibrancy that are the hallmarks of world class premium sparkling wine.

The thrilling energy of this splendid season charges it with a vibrancy and definition that places this blend on a plateau elevated high above even the lofty heights that this cuvee has attained under the new Charles Heidsieck. In searching for any other entry non-vintage cuvee to which to compare it, I can fathom none short of the mesospheric heights of Krug itself. In sheer age (current Krug Grande Cuvee is only one year older) and depth of reserves, this Charles Heidsieck splendidly upholds its elevated position among Champagne's richer NVs... In sheer, breathtaking calibre for the price, this is the greatest Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve I can remember. It deserves to be the house champagne we all have chilled perpetually at the ready this year. Rating: 96/100.
