Chris Greene, JJ Buckley, March 2013

While at first beautifully foamy, this quickly settles into an elegant and ample bead. Aromas of toasted almond, golden apple and brioche mask a slight herbal character. On the palate, the nuttiness shines through, giving way to coconut cream pie, while coriander and lemon zest come along on the mid-palate. The acidity is gentle, and the finish is medium-long. This is a very pleasurable Champagne that manages to be both creamy and zesty. Keep this one on hand as your go-to toasting wine.

Pale straw. Attractive, lightly toasty nose and real zest and some age on this. Not desperately concentrated. Feather-like impact on the palate and impressive length. 17/20

(43PY1067440): Light yellow-gold. Candied citrus fruits, pear and chamomile on the smoke-accented nose. Fresh, assertive and penetrating, offering juicy orchard and citrus fruit flavors and a deeper pit fruit nuance. Finishes sappy and long, with strong mineral cut and lingering lees and mineral nuances.

A fragrant, zesty and powerful wine, this has the concentration of the vintage with tart peach and lemon pith flavor. Acidity balances the roundness of the dosage, creating layers of flavor and pointing up the complex spice. This has the tension to serve with sashimi.

This very structured wine is dry, in the Laurent-Perrier house style. Crunchy green apples are supported by richness and a complex texture. With nine years in the cellar, it has already gained some maturity, but needs aging. - R.V.

A bright, mineral-driven Champagne that offers a creamy mousse and flavors of green pear, anise, spiced nut and candied lemon zest. A note of sweet smoke lingers on the moderate finish. Drink now through 2016. -AN
