This new release of Delamotte's 2002 Blanc de Blancs Millésimé Collection is showing as well as ever, wafting from the glass with aromas of citrus oil, lemon curd, crisp yellow apple, toasted brioche and nougat. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's generous but incisive, with an ample core of fruit, ripe but racy acids and a long, elegantly toasty finish. While it's already drinking well it will show even more complexity with a few more years on cork. - William Kelley

A red-fruited blanc de blancs this is saturated with flavor yet extremely dry and mouthwatering. Scents of cider apple and toasty lees balance fresher white raspberry flavors combining in a substantial wine with extraordinary length of flavor. It has the drive of the 2002 vintage in a style suited for ready enjoyment over the next five years.

This is vintage Champagne in a crowd-pleasing, aperitif style for its freshness and overall harmony. It's fine and creamy in texture, with a lightly mouthwatering backbone of acidity supporting the delicate mesh of Gala apple, lemon sorbet, almond biscotti and a smoky mineral note that plays on the finish. Drink now through 2027. – AN
