• N.V. Gaston Chiquet Champagne Blanc de Blancs d'Aÿ - France, Champagne (12/14/2006)
  Not really my style of Champagne, although it might have improved with some air. Aromas of hay, cucumber, and rose petals extend over to the palate, with the addition of some lime zest on the finish. Racy acidity. (86 pts.)

WIML92+

Tasted June 11, 2008 at an offline.

Opened and served immediately. Light yellow to yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout with solid and steady everessence. Nose of apples, cherries, strawberries, parafin and some soft spice notes. Flavors of cherries, strawberries, lemon zest and some orange notes on the medium tot long finish. Tangy acidity, full body. Lovely weight and feel on the palate. Drink over the short term, say 2-4 years. Nice grower Champagne. (92 pts.)
