Besserat De Bellefon Cuvee Des Moines NV

Kemenys Price : $54.99
RRP : $80.00
Kemenys Rating : 97/100
Value : a

Tasting Note :
Its incredibly light froth comes from a subtle, lower than usual dosage giving the wine a lighter pressure and an aerated, fine froth. Uniquely crafted to drink through a meal, these unique "fine bubbles’’ are the result of an exclusive winemaking technique in the Champagne appellation. One of only 6 Champagnes chosen in the recent Sydney International TOP 100 wine competition. Very highly recommended!
 
Besserat De Bellefon Blanc De Blancs Nv


Kemenys Price : $64.99
RRP : $90.00
Kemenys Rating : 96/100
Value :

Tasting Note :
A froth of light bubbles forms a discreet ring in the glass. The aromas are intense revealing fresh citrus notes admirably matched with well-developed toasted aromas. The palate is ample and well structured. The balance is exquisite, the texture astonishingly light, and the finish harmonious with rich intermingling flavours.
 
Besserat De Bellefon Cuvee Moines Rose

Kemenys Price : $59.99
RRP : $85.00
Kemenys Rating : 98/100
Value : a

Tasting Note :
The nose is intense and clean with notes of candied fruit, especially
wild strawberry. It carries suggestions of almond and red currant jelly. Good weight on the palate with slight acidity. Mouthfeel is fleshy, fresh and tender. Definitely balanced with very silky texture. The finish is lively, not aggressive, with persistent length.


 
Besserat De Bellefon Vintage Brut 2000


Kemenys Price : $69.99
RRP : $95.00
Kemenys Rating : 98/100
Value : a

Tasting Note :
The intense robe, which is golden yellow with satiny tints, gives rise to abundant fine bubbles. The powerful note of preserved fruits (citrus and apricot), honey and dry straw develops into brioche and smoked notes. On the palate it is well rounded and generous. The mineral quality characteristic of vintage 2000 is well in evidence. The smooth and complex finish reveals a very suitable dosage.



 
Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose NV

Kemenys Price : $120.00
RRP : $120.00
Kemenys Rating : 98/100
Value :

Tasting Note :
"This is by far my favourite rose, so fresh and mouthwatering. It is made without the addition of red wine (as are most) ; instead it is a blend of 35 percent pinot noir, 35 percent pinot meunier and 30 percent chardonnay, cold-fermented in stainless steel with cultured yeasts. The intensely flowery bouquet is followed by a palate crammed with strawberry and dried-flower flavours, then a joyous finish."

James Halliday, Halliday's Top 100, Weekend Australian, 22/11/2003
 
 
Bollinger Special Cuvee Brut NV

Kemenys Price : $79.00
RRP : $115.00
Kemenys Rating : 95/100
Value :

Tasting Note :
"This traditional champagne house makes a full-bodied, very dry style. This non-vintage has sometimes been a little variable, but the current edition is right in the groove. It has smoky, nutty and glace fruit-like aromas, rich, long flavour and a dry, firm backbone."

Huon Hooke & Ralph Kyte Powell, Uncorked Magazine, 01/11/2002

Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve Mis en Cave

Kemenys Price : $59.99
RRP : $90.00
Kemenys Rating : 98/100
Value : ccccc

Tasting Note :
When is a vintage not a vintage - Answer - when it's Charles Heidsieck Mis en Cave. They blend it up then put the date on the label and disgorge it three years later, so it has three years on yeast lees, plenty of time to develop the nutty, biscuity flavours of top grade champagne. This bubbly has plenty of mid-palate weight and finishes bone dry. A great food wine, Huon Hooke suggests you drink it with mushroom pastries. Sounds good to us!

RRP : $110.00
Kemenys Rating : 98/100
Value : ccccc

Tasting Note :
A hedonistic, opulent wonder with biscuit, citrus, honey and brioche
aromas and flavours. It's dry and balanced with a lingering finish of grilled nuts. Have it with someone you love. (Clothing optional).

Charles Joubert Special Reserve Brut NV

Kemenys Price : $34.99
RRP : $65.00
Kemenys Rating : 92/100
Value : cccc

Tasting Note :
"It has a restrained but creamy, apparently chardonnay-led aroma, with some nougat and almond characters. It's fairly youthful and probably has little in the way of reserve wine, but it's fine in the mouth, with delicacy and style. It works well as an aperitif or with oysters and cold seafood."

Gauthier Vintage 1999

Kemenys Price : $49.99
RRP : $85.00
Kemenys Rating : 97/100
Value : dddddd

Tasting Note :

Gauthier Brut Vintage 1999 is the result of a subtle blend of chardonnay (40%) which brings finesse, elegance and lightness, pinot noir (20%) which confers strength and structure and pinot meunier (20%). The nose displays intense flavours of candied fruits, honey and dry hay. The palate shows good balance between elegance and strength. The smooth finish is revealed by a good and specific dosage.

Gauthier Brut Grande Reserve Champagne


Kemenys Price : $39.99
RRP : $75.00
Kemenys Rating : 93/100
Value :

Tasting Note :
"As most top Aussie bubblies nudge the $50 barrier these days, a good - very good - $40 French champers suddenly looks like stunning value. I'm talking about the NV Gauthier Champagne, a yeasty, complex, terrifically satisfying glass of fizz, available through Kemenys in Sydney..."

Max Allen, Weekend Australian Magazine, 11/04/2004

Krug Grande Cuvee Brut Gift Boxed

Kemenys Price : $250.00
RRP : $280.00
Kemenys Rating : 95/100
Value : ddddd

Tasting Note :
"Neither vintage Krug nor Clos de Mesnil were submitted, which greatly disappointed the unofficial tasting panel that mysteriously appears every year to help me in this section of the Top 100 tasting. No matter; the Grande Cuvee is at its majestic best, as ultra-complex as ever with its mix of brioche, bread, nuts and dried fruits, then amazing freshness and acidity running through the long palate and finish."

Krug Vintage Brut 1995

Kemenys Price : $369.00
RRP : $480.00
Kemenys Rating : 98/100
Value : dddd

Tasting Note :
The 1995 vintage Krug shows today its immense potential, with a smoky, lemony fruit character and hints of brioche, mineral, ripe white fruits and honey. On the palate the wine is majesterial and full, while retaining crisp acidity and vibrant length. A very rich and luxurious Krug.
