The 1999 Brut Seduction is 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir that seems a few months in oak. This shows lovely richness and depth, along with an extra layer of volume from the partial aging in oak barrels. Voluptuous and creamy to the finish, the Seduction impresses for its fine balance and round, harmonious finish. This is Lot LSE995003XNO036, disgorged January, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017. -AG

In the case of this Champagne's label, it's the women seducing the man. And, yes, this is an elegant Champagne, dominated by crisp Chardonnay acidity, ripe apples and citrus. There is minerality to add to the stylish mix. R.V.

A subtle Champagne that meshes layers of coffee liqueur, hazelnut, lemon curd and pastry smoke notes in this wine's refined frame. There's a modestly mouthwatering effect from the acidity, balancing an overall richness, with a lingering, smoke-tinged finish. Drink now through 2015. 2,000 cases made.--AN
