Frerejean Frères, VV26 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut NV
Frerejean Frères brings precision and elegance to their VV26 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, a pure Chardonnay expression from the chalk slopes of Champagne's most prestigious villages. This is Champagne that speaks of place rather than producer ego - all citrus tension and mineral backbone, with the kind of fine mousse that makes you pause mid-conversation. Based on 2012 with 2008 and 2009 as reserve wines, this is a gastronomic tour de force, with breadth, depth and terrific length, complexity and harmony, and capacity for longer-term cellaring (though it is GORGEOUS right now).
LEGRAS Cuvée Saint Vincent Brut Grand Cru Chouilly Champagne R&L Legras 2012
100% Chardonnay from Chouilly. Made from old vines, careful selection of grapes and only made in certain vintages. Dosage 4 g/l. <br> Very smoky stinky. Cordite grip, lime-streaked, structural, bold, determined and slightly austere. An edge of petrichor and rainstorm drama. Fine, fine bubbles. A dramatic wine that will age even further – I'd probably wait a couple of years before opening it.
