All Sparking Wine

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 97 points: The 2006 Dom Pérignon is a beautifully balanced, harmonious Dom Pérignon that strikes an incredibly appealing stylistic middle ground. Rich, voluptuous and creamy, the 2006 shows off fabulous intensity in a style that...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 97 points: 97+ The 2006 Comtes de Champagne is striking, especially in the way it brings together elements of ripeness and freshness in a hypothetical blend of the 2002 and 2004. Smooth and creamy on the palate, the 2006 is all...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: A subtle nose with plenty of fine autolysis aromas of fresh bread and sweetly fragrant yeasty notes, plus some gentle spice and chalky notes. The palate unleashes beautiful wild strawberry fruit flavors, super fresh...

View From The Cellar, 95 points: The first vintage of Charles Heidsieck’s Tête de Cuvée Blanc de Blancs was the 1983, and this has been a reference point example of its genre ever since. The 1995 is truly a remarkable wine that I would be happy to...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Super fresh, this is striking given the 10 years in the cellars; it has a fine citrus nose - plenty of lemon, grapefruit, yellow chalky notes, some lighter floral elements too. The palate is super dry (dosage at 3-4g) and...

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: To judge by the cork, this bottling has some age, giving it a toasty as well as fruity character that adds complexity to this baked-apple and citrus-flavored wine. It also means that it needs no further aging and is...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: (#34, Top 100 of 2014) This offers great balance between the freshest fruit and toasty maturity. That poise gives this impressive Champagne a tension, a high wire act that works superbly. It is rich, full of fruit but...

Wine Spectator, 97 points: Impeccably balanced and silky, with finely honed acidity shaping the expansive flavors of toasted brioche, crushed blackberry, lemon preserves and honey, revealing hints of Frangelico liqueur and smoked nut. Rich and...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Very handy grilled almonds and savory nutty aromas here. This has a wealth of lemon citrus, chalky notes, lemon pith, gentle white pepper and immense freshness - really striking. The palate's smoothly honed with a little...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 97 points: 97+ Long-time Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon has produced yet another in a string of superb Champagnes with the 2007 Cristal. Rich, powerful and enveloping, the 2007 takes hold of all the senses and never lets up...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Another big-time winner, and one of their larger cuvées of just over 9,000 cases is the 2012 Brut Rosé. This is a blend of 76% Pinot Noir and 24% Chardonnay, of which 33% was barrel fermented. This wine is ripe, broad...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: A very complex nose here with ripe, deep lemon and grapefruit aromas on offer plus some restrained chalky elements, biscuit, some roasting herbs, hints of pepper, then a little tobacco too. Very complex and full of fresh...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: For this NV Cuvee Louis Brut Nature, they harvested 50% Chardonnay plus 50% Pinot Noir from a single lieut-dit (Les Crayons) in a single year (1999) and fermented them in barrels, where the wine aged until May 2000 but...

Decanter, 99 points: This vintage has begun to open magnificently since its release, displaying remarkable complexity, yet at every moment clinging to impeccable elegance, coiled focus of malic acid tension and exhilarating chalk mineral...
