From the very good 2015 vintage, "The Taittinger Vintage Brut is exclusively produced from first press wines, blended from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. The Grands Crus make up a significant proportion at 70% while the other selected villages are all classified as Premiers Crus. Ageing in the cellars for 5 years helps it to flourish. On the nose, the 2015 Vintage is simultaneously precise, pure and fruity. It abounds in aromatic finesse and good minerality. This lively freshness feeds into a bouquet of white flowers - orange blossom, lime flower and honeysuckle - punctuated by the aroma of fresh fruits like lime and white peach, delicately accompanied by notes of lightly toasted almonds. On the palate, the attack is full of energy, precise and focussed. This rich, fruity and smooth sensation, with a hint of citrus, provides excellent balance between structure and finesse. Its almost chalky finish caresses the palate with a long and lingering saline tone. It is the perfect confluence of terroir, year, climate and our House style. This vintage encompasses all of our terroirs’ finesse and maturity, that can only be fully appreciated upon tasting. In its youth, it expresses itself superbly on its own, and then as the years go by, its generous structure will pair equally well with delicate and refined gastronomic or culinary dishes."

From the very good 2014 vintage and scoring 95/100 Parker points, "Offering up complex aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, confit citrus, frangipane, walnuts, dried white flowers and subtle hints of iodine, Bollinger's 2014 Brut La Grande Année is medium to full-bodied, pillowy and vinous, with an elegantly fleshy core of fruit that's underpinned by racy acids and complemented by a pretty pinpoint mousse. Concluding with a long, chalky finish, this is a charming but precise Grande Année that's more giving and demonstrative than its immediate predecessor, the 2012, but which attains a very similar level of quality in a more challenging vintage - testimony to the serious viticulture that underpins Bollinger's contemporary excellence."

From the very good 2004 vintage and scoring 95/100 Parker Points "Lily-of-the-valley perfume and scents of lightly toasted brioche and almond rise from the glass of Moet’s 2004 Brut Dom Perignon, along with hints of the apricot, pear and grapefruit that then inform a luscious and creamy yet strikingly delicate as well as consummately refreshing palate. Sweet-saline savor of scallop also already intimated in the nose lends compulsive saliva-inducement to a ravishingly rarified and persistent finish, joined by alkaline, nutty, liquid-floral, and nori seaweed notes for a performance of head-scratching subtlety and intrigue. (In case my description hasn’t already made clear, we have here inter alia a fantastic sushi wine.) This will be worth following for at least the next 6-8 years, in the course of demonstrating that iconic status as a luxury brand, and elevated (albeit secret) production numbers by no means preclude a wine of understated as well as profound beauty."

From the very good 2009 vintage and scoring 93+/100 Parker points, "The 2009 Dom Pérignon is already drinking well, exhibiting expressive aromas of ripe apple, peach, Meyer lemon, marzipan and dried white flowers that are framed by the classic nutty, autolytic notes that so often define this cuvée. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a broad attack, a brisk and refined mousse, appreciable dry extract and a notably saline finish. While this is a comparatively ample, gourmand vintage of Dom Pérignon, there's sufficient concentration and structural tension which has become more apparent with a bit of bottle age to suggest that this may be surprisingly long lived."

From the very good 2010 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, "A charming, demonstrative vintage for this cuvée, the 2010 Dom Pérignon bursts with notes of mandarin, golden orchard fruit, toasted bread, almonds and petrol. Medium to full-bodied, rabid and ample, with a fleshy core of fruit and an open-knit, giving style, it has taken on a bit of texture since I last tasted it, but it remains fundamentally forward and immediate." Drink now - 2033. This vintage champagne is shipped in a original presentation box at no extra cost and now includes a free gift card with your personal message and tasting and storage notes.

The Roy Lichtenstein Bottle for the 1985 Vintage. Scoring 93/100 Parker points, this incredible champagne which is incased in a Roy Lichtenstein design. He draws his inspiration from drawn cartoons and transposes them to the pictorial universe. He has sought to provoke a visual shock through the use of dots and by the clever use of a few dominant colours: Van Gogh yellow, royal blue, English green. But this effect was not enough: by extending the hair of the face above his signature as far as the vine branch - to the point that they become one - he wishes to remind us that champagne is born of the association of nature and human talent. Drink now - 2033. The perfect anniversary gift.

The Corneille Collection Bottle by Corneille Van Beverloo for the 1990 Vintage. On the bottle, Corneille's talent finds easy expression. Against a background, the color of green vine leaves, there are strange shaped birds, reminiscent of those found in Coptic bas-reliefs or on Indian totem poles. These birds will never be caught in a net, ready to soar heavenwards, knowing no constraints or obstacles, carrying the universal message of the Champagne they embody, a message of charm and joy. The 1990 wines are powerful, well-structured and rich in aromas, yet fresh on the palate. With such a balanced structure, this most characteristic vintage should last extremely well. The Taittinger Collection Corneille was produced from 50% Chardonnay grapes and 50% Pinot Noir, mostly from Taittinger's own production from the best vineyards in Champagne. Drink now - 2031.

This stunning Champagne from the king of champagnes is from the very good 1999 vintage and scores 93/100 Parker points and "The 1999 Dom Perignon is a little flabbier than the 2000. Smoke, toastiness, tar and ripe fruit emerge from the glass in a generous, expansive style. The 1999 offers more body than the 2000 but the aromas and flavors are less well-articulated. This is a relatively simple Dom Perignon, yet the wine possesses outstanding balance and plenty of harmony. According to Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy the warm vintage also resulted in relatively high yields, and the low-acid style is most reminiscent of the 1976." Drink now - 2031.

From the very good 2006 vintage and scoring 96/100 Parker points, "The 2006 Dom Pérignon comes from a very rich vintage with an early ripeness that brought a lot of aromatic maturity. The white-golden prestige cuvée contains a bit more Chardonnay than Pinot Noir and opens with a deep and seductive, pretty accessible nose with intense yet fresh fruit aromas of pineapples, with peaches and tangerines. Lively and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, unusually aromatic and fruity DP with a long and tension-filled expression." Drink now - 2041.

The extremely rare Vasarely Collection Bottle by Victor Vasarely for the 1978 Vintage. Victor Vasarely was born in Hungary in '08. His extraordinary talent for drawing was apparent by the tender age of seven. He studied the works of Kandinsky and Le Corbusier with enthusiasm before moving into abstract art as early as '47, clearly defining his principles of abstraction. He co-founded the Galerie Denise René, with which a first group of abstract artists associated itself, and advocated the progressive and complete rejection of traditional academic painting and techniques, as well as the desire to achieve harmonious compositions, purely constructive solutions, while retaining only the essential geometric shapes. Vasarely died on Wednesday, 19 March '97 at the age of 89. Vasarely, who initiated kineticism, is renowned worldwide for his Vegas (geometric patterns creating an illusion of relief). Vasarely used these Vegas to inaugurate the first bottle in the Taittinger Collection.The 1978 harvest was one of the smallest in the history of Champagne since the pre-war period (78 million bottles). The gathering was preceded by a particularly beautiful and sunny late summer. The result was a high alcohol level in the red grapes and a high quality harvest. The Taittinger Collection Brut 1978 was produced from 40% white Chardonnay grapes from the best vineyards of the Côte des Blancs and 60% Pinot Noir harvested from the best vineyards of the Montagne de Reims.

This stunning Champagne scores 96/100 Parker points and "The 2002 Dom Perignon is at first intensely floral, with perfumed jasmine that dominates the bouquet. With time in the glass the wine gains richness as the flavors turn decidedly riper and almost tropical. Ripe apricots, passion fruit and peaches emerge from this flashy, opulent Dom Perignon. The wine’s volume makes it approachable today, but readers in search of more complexity will want to cellar this for at least a few years to allow for some of the baby fat to drop off."
