			<description><![CDATA[I'll be heading over to Champagne at the end of May and will be staying in Epernay over a long weekend. Each year we like to go and visit some large and smaller houses - its become a yearly tradition. As the years go on, I am really keen on finding and visiting some truly unique growers but to be honest, I'm struggling to find much information. Even most of my favorite MW journalists don't write too much about em. I have the book Champagne by Peter Liem - and that's a great resource, but I wanted to check in with you, who do you recommend I try to visit on my next trip ?!]]></description>

After a few hours, some toast notes emerge. A very interesting, young Champagne. Would like to see how it continues to develop. 90+ points.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Pale-ish gold, and the mousse is still a fairly big bead. Tons of honey with lemon, some biscuit and almond. Great acidity and a very long finish. The 3 bottles of this I’ve had in the past 3 months have not been as good as the previous bottle I had 2.5 years ago, so if you’re holding this I’d say it’s time to drink up. This is a fully mature, wonderful Champagne that is a QPR gem. 92 points.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This must be the freshest tasting 1998 I've every had.  Fruity up front, fresh, zippy, must have a pretty high residual sugar.  Not much in terms of toasty, lacking some complexity of the best 1998, like LGD, Krug, but was a great and extremely tasty Champagne.  IT went down WAYYYYYY to easy and wayyyyyy to fast.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The difference between the rose and the La Grande Annee rose is also significant.  The regular bottle is great, lots of fun, fruity, energetic, and very very fresh.  The La Grande Annee is altogether a different beast.  It is much more muted on the nose, but more serious at the same time.  On the palate, the wine comes together more like a white burgundy and an excellent one at that.  It makes you look down the glass more and wonder.  This one is one that you need a quiet corner for or else you miss all of complexities in the wine.  I really enjoyed this.]]></description>

Just just that La Grande Annee is just much better, taut, large, lush, full of briocche, nuts, great line of acidity, this is a large wine to match the large scale vintage. Lovely.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Okay, I came in with preconceived notions of both a 2003 wine and a wine released before onew from the previous year (2002 is being held until 2015 for release).<br />
<br />
However, this one is one attractive krug.  Toast right away on the nose, citrus, greater density but even better structure which surprised me.  The company notes that there is more Pinot Munier than ever and harvest started in August.  Another one for the buy list.]]></description>
