Chartogne-Taillet Cuvee Ste-Anne Brut

92 Points Robert Parker

"Champagnes, the Chartogne-Taillet NV Brut Cuvee St.-Anne pushes the qualitative element even beyond what I recall under this label from two or three years ago, and must be counted (relative to its appellation) as a sensational value. A haunting nose of ocean spray with clam and oyster liquor anticipates the mouthwateringly saline, mysteriously meaty and seaweed-tinged aspects of a polished palate that’s also informed by luscious, pit-tinged white peach, fresh lemon and almond. "
