Unusually pronounced red-grape fragrances this time; the wine is usually marked by sauteed apples and butter, but this time it’s all braised beef, shiitakes and honey-mushroom; the palate starts to conform to type, silky and tangy and more apple now; as stylish and reliable as always. It’s a very good ... more

Deceptively pretty; it smells like a June picnic basket, but on the palate it’s silky, gauzy, detailed and sleek, with tertiary notes of leaf-smoke and lavender. It’s significantly more youthful and frisky but also cornbread-y and lush. more

Mostly ‘03 with some reserve wines, disgorged 11/07, all 1er Cru; this again is an impeccable old-style ripe-vintage Champagne; 2003’s toast and burning hay and sweet corn; the wine’s a little softer than last year’s, less confiture and more meaty, pheasanty and truffley, but seductive stuff that’s all too easy ... more

It’s 60% Cramant, 27.5% Chouilly and 12.5% Cuis. Disgorged 2/10, though showing a rich, classy aroma; this will be wonderful, especially for lovers of filigree, pointillist articulation, rendered with determined length and ultraviolet penetration. A true bubble-
head’s Champagne, the ne plus ultra of a jabbing, expressive wine, yet notice ... more

Fresh nose of dried fruit (apricot) with a hint of citrus.

Silvery strawberry aromas, and trusting, creamy fruit, like a child who isn’t shy and takes your hand; there’s amazingly pure fruit and stylish flowery spice: a lovely Rosé. more

Violet and hyacinth aromas make you think of Riesling (as these wines often do), but the palate is all apples and Rainier cherries with a chalk-powder sprinkle; wonderfully silky and generous, refined and accurate. A virtual Blanc de Blancs; 90% Chardonnay to 10% Pinot Noir. more

Aubrys make a strong case for taking Meunier seriously, and this wine stands with the Non Vintage from Jose Michel, Gaston Chiquet and René Geoffroy as the finest "basic" Meunier Champagnes I know. Meunier is resistant to frost and thus it's often planted in marginal vineyards and therefore despised! Treat ... more
