Besserat De Bellefon Cuvee Des Moines NV
|
|
| Kemenys
Price |
: $50.00 |

Rating |
: 95/100 |
| Value |

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! |

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.

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

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.

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."

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."

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. |
