($130) Pale, green-tinged color. Incredible shiver-producing 99-point nose combines peach, lemon, iodine and steely, petrolly, slatey soil tones; I was reminded of Chevalier-Montrachet and great Mosel riesling. Full and creamy-smooth but extremely young. This brilliantly minerally wine seems to thicken and intensify after 10 or 15 seconds in the mouth, offering layer upon layer of soil tones. A superconcentrated Champagne that completely avoids the heaviness shown by some '95s.

Opened a bottle of this and was really impressed. A beautiful champagne that is still very young and could improve with a few years of bottle age. Lovely!
Elegant yet powerful!!

Just opened a bottle and wonder why I haven't opened one earlier. Lovely aromatics elegant, yet picked up weight in the glass, very rich and full on the finish. The only downside it doesn't seem to have the length of a classic example. But excellent for the vintage.

In fact, these grapes are widely referred to as "international" varieties because they have been planted and imitated all over the world.

Chardonnay

The best Chardonnays in the world continue to arrive from the region where the grape first emerged: the chalk, clay, and limestone vineyards of Burgundy and Chablis. While the origins of the grape were disputed for many years, with some speculating that the grape came all the way from the Middle East, DNA researchers at the University of California-Davis proved in 1999 that Chardonnay actually developed...
