Champagne Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2015
Champagne Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs 2015, "After the pillowy, chiseled 2013, Pol Roger's 2015 Brut Blanc de Blancs is cut from richer, broader cloth. Offering up aromas of crisp golden orchard fruit, white flowers and subtle hints of warm biscuits, it's full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and a precise, chalky finish. In style, it's reminiscent of a somewhat more sun-kissed version of the 2012 rendition." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
Trapet Sonnenglanz Pinot Gris Grand Cru 2015
Trapet Sonnenglanz Pinot Gris Grand Cru 2015, "From the heavy, well-structured and very stony calcareous soil of the 33-hectare Grand Cru and harvested on September 27, the 2015 Sonnenglanz Pinot Gris offers a clear, delicate but dense and elegant bouquet of fresh, ripe fruits. Fermented in stainless steel, this is a clear, fresh and mineral, very elegant Pinot Gris, offering a fruity sweetness combined with a lot of finesse and a lingering salinity. The tannins are fine and the wine reveals good tension. A terrific Pinot Gris that should be aged for another seven years to gain even more complexity and reduce the sweetness a bit." - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
