Faint gold with fine columns of bubbles, the Special Club Brut Millesime 1er Cru 2019 is a 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay with a 5.5 grams per liter dosage. Wispy aromas of pomegranate, morello cherry, lemon ice, wet river stones, and lemon zest lead into a surprisingly weighty and textured, medium to full-bodied palate with evanescent red fruit concentration and stimulating acidity that finishes with great length, and clandestine power. Disgorged February 2023.

A silver/straw hue, the 2019 Champagne Special Club Brut is a very pretty wine made from 60% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay, all originating from the Premier and Grand Cru villages of Louvois, Chouilly, and Mareuil-sur-Ay. Revealing aromas of sea spray, pure ripe raspberry, and fresh flowers, it moves seamlessly to the palate, where it offers a refined mousse with an approachable feel, its crystalline fruit shining through to a clean and graceful finish. A very attractive wine, it’s showing beautifully now and should hold up nicely over the coming 8-10 years.

The 2019 Brut Special Club 1er Cru (65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay) is pure and seductive. Ample and creamy in feel, with gorgeous texture, the 2019 is fabulous right out of the gate. Dried pear, citrus peel, spice and crushed rocks open as the 2019 shows off its considerable charms. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged between April and October 2023.
