Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Echezeaux Size:6x750ml The 2011 Blanc de Blancs

The 2011 Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée is centered and poised on the palate

La Nerthe's 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Cadettes is a blend of approximately one-third each Grenache

youthfully austere and bone-dry finish is textbook Perrières and while it could use a bit more overall depth

Finishes with mellow

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Echezeaux Size:6x750ml The 2011 Blanc de Blancs(from En Orveaux). Generous oak fights with the aromas of spicy pomegranate, cherry and violet. The exceptionally rich, even suave, medium bodied flavors possess very good concentration, power and persistence on the mouth coating and sappy if somewhat sweet finish that I found borderline cloying. I suspect that this will become more interesting with age but for now, its not at the same level as the best of these grands crus.
