NV Champagne Gaston Chiquet Brut Tradition Premier Cru

$55.00

 The Chiquet Brut had a bouquet of fresh-washed stones and subtle mintiness.  The vinosity (wine-like quality) is especially evident which is not surprising considering its Premier Cru status, generous amount of reserve wine and extended lees aging.  It only hints at its splendor and promises to blossom with time.  **+(FR)

I liked this more than Frank but he’s right about the green herb-spice component. Lovely flavors, though, and great spicy complexity and minerality. ***(JR)
