From the very good 2016 vintage, this stunning Champagne scored 97/100 in the Decanter World Wine Awards. 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 over 5 years helps it to flourish. The nose of this 2016 vintage expresses beautiful complexity. There are floral aromas of hawthorn and pleasant notes of pear, kumquat, verbena, gingerbread and white flowers, underpinned by a subtle minty note. On the palate, it releases superb energy; a fresh and dynamic attack with floral tones such as honeysuckle combined with delightful notes of peach and citrus fruits. The finish is subtle with lovely long-lasting aromas on top of pleasingly bitter orange peel. There is a charming complementarity between the elegance of the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs and the broader shoulders of the Pinots Noirs from the Montagne de Reims. It is the perfect confluence of terroir, year, climate and our House style. Drink now - 2036.

From the very good 2015 vintage and scoring 95+/100 Parker points, "The 2015 Brut La Grande Année was disgorged last year with eight grams per liter dosage. The wine has turned out beautifully, exhibiting a more muscular, old-school Bollinger profile in contrast to the unusually racy, fine-boned 2014 that preceded it. Wafting from the glass with notes of pear, orange oil and white flowers mingled with notions of mocha, toasted hazelnuts and fino sherry, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a dense core of fruit framed by chalky structuring extract, concluding with a long, sapid finish."

Scoring 91/100 points from Wine Enthusiast and from the very good 1997 vintage "Already, this is a mature wine, and it's delicious. The aromas of toasted brioches and dry fruits confirm this.

Scoring 90/100 points from Wine Enthusiast, "Perhaps this wine is the ultimate in Champagne packaging - a leather outer sleeve around the bottle designed by couturier Jean-Paul Gaultier. Does the wine justify the hype? If you like very mature tasting wine, yes, because this is all toast and not much fruit. But it does work, with good acidity to crispen it at the end."

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 - 2034. Bin soiled label.

Scoring 98/100 Parker points, Parker says "The brilliant 1996 Dom Perignon, which has largely disappeared from the marketplace, may be the finest young example of DP I have ever tasted. Notes of crushed rocks, honeysuckle, lemon oil, orange marmalade, and white pear provide a stunning aromatic display as well as palate impression. Great acidity and huge flavor intensity backed up by vibrant acidity make this an exquisite Champagne. It should drink well for 20-25 years, possibly longer." Drink now - 2033. Note:Damaged foil.

The Lyrical Abstract art of Hans Hartung embodies the essence of his own personal individualism. Intellectually independent and little influenced by his contemporaries, he conveys an energy, through sweeping brushstrokes and vibrantly colored lines, that movement is life and form is language. In the medium of the bottle, he implies the vibrant overflowing of the wine of life. The 1986 harvest was classic in character, with ripeness balanced by ample acidity and a fine structure filled out by elegant fruit. The 1986 Brut Vintage is fresh and delicate, with a great subtle interplay of tropical fruit flavors and toasty nuances culminating in an elegant finish. Drink now - 2034.

Scoring 94/100 Parker points and scoring 96/100 Points from Falstaff, "Without a shadow of a doubt a great youthful Dom: light greenish-yellow, still fairly intense mousse. Initially delicate vegetal notes emerge, smoky, soft nutty undertones, peanuts, still very fresh, the bouquet shows opulent stone fruit, good minerality. Youthful on the palate, exhibits a lot of fruit nuances, this will be a real gem in ten years, definite improver, worth cellaring." Drink now - 2039.

From the ledgendary Champagne maker Marie-Noelle Ledru, this stunning Grower Champagne is according to her importer ""In her tiny cold cellar, Ledru’s approach was just as simple and natural. The primary fermentation took place in stainless steel and enamel tanks for purity, and the wines always completed malolactic. Marie-Nöelle never used filtration or cold-stabilization, and allowed the vintage cuvées to develop for five years on the lees. And she riddled and disgorged every bottle by hand, without adding sulfur and with very low or zero dosage. The results were some of the greatest Champagnes of our time, the definition of Ambonnay’s surreal alliance of powerful richness with chalk-charged freshness. Above all, they have the exquisite harmony and distinct character that comes only from great terroirs in the hand of great winemakers." Drink now - 2040.

From the ledgendary Champagne maker Marie-Noelle Ledru, this stunning Grower Champagne "Marie-Noelle Ledru’s Ambonnay estate has acquired an illustrious reputation among self-styled Champagne cognoscenti thanks not only to the quality of her wines, but also to the fact that she handles virtually every task personally (even including hand-disgorgement). That her already diminutive acreage was recently reduced by more than half to a mere five acres on account of a family land dispute will no doubt render her status even more cult-like. Fortunately, if you can manage to locate some bottles of these intriguing, boldly flavored and stylistically robust expressions of Ambonnay terroir, their prices are by no means inflated."

This stunning magnum of Champagne Dom Perignon P2 Plenitude scores 95/100 Parker points and "The 2002 Dom Pérignon P2 is showing very well indeed, wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, dried white flowers, orange oil, smoky peach, peat and praline. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and textural, with a ripe and muscular core of fruit, ripe acids and fine concentration, concluding with a long and elegantly toasty finish. As I wrote earlier this year, this is a ripe and powerful Dom Pérignon that finds its closest stylistic analogy in the 1990 vintage, and it is considerably less evolved than the more tertiary 2000 P2 today. While the P2 is a bit drier and more precise on the finish than the original release, given the wine's slow evolution, the difference between the two is less pronounced than it has been for any vintage since 1996. To my palate, it really needs four or five years in the cellar before it truly starts to blossom." Drink now - 2045. This vintage champagne is shipped in its original presentation box at no extra cost and now includes a free gift card with your personal message and tasting and storage notes. Fraud warning: We only ship Dom Perignon if the payment is a 3D secure payment and all the cardholder details match.
