Gorgeous aromas and flavors of nectarine, chopped almond, dried white cherry, ground cardamom and ginger, lime blossoms, graphite and espresso crema are immediately present on the mouthwatering palate of this elegant Champagne. Buoyed by bright, well-integrated acidity, the flavors glide along on the fine, creamy mousse, underscored by a racy streak of salinity that drives the clean-cut finish. Shows beautiful harmony and expression. Disgorged October 2020. Drink now through 2036. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator. Pristine, showing a beautifully supple, creamy mid-palate through succulent peach and pear fruit, with additional complexity from browned pastry and sea salt. A streak of northern Montagne tension, still – this will gladly take more time in the cellar to mellow. 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir from Rilly-la-Montagne in the northern Montagne de Reims.--TH, Decanter. The 2016 Brut Grand Cellier d' Or is a gorgeous, ethereal Champagne that is all about grace. Floral and citrus notes abound in a weightless, translucent Champagne that has so much to offer. The 2016 is not an obvious wine at all, but rather a Champagne that dazzles with nuance and understatement. I loved it. Disgorged: July, 2020. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. Disgorged in July 2020, the 2016 Brut Premier Cru Grand Cellier d'Or unwinds in the glass with inviting aromas of orange oil, green orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, blanched almonds and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and elegant, it's pretty and seamless, with a charming core of fruit, bright acids and a delicate pinpoint mousse. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate. |
