Marc Hébrart 'Spécial Club' Brut

Score

92

"The 2015 Brut Spécial Club Millésimé is bright and beautifully chiseled from start to finish. Chardonnay features a bit more heavily here than it does throughout the range. Lemon confit, sage, mint, tangerine oil, crushed rocks and a host of saline inflections all build in the glass. There are some slightly vegetal undertones that are typical of 2015, but they aren't overpowering, at least not at this stage. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: July, 2019."

"Disgorged in April 2018, this release of Hébrart's 2013 Brut Premier Cru Special Club Millésimé is superb, unwinding in the glass with aromas of fresh apples, Anjou pear, pastry cream, acacia honey and dried white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and seductive, with superb amplitude and depth at the core, succulent acids and a fine mousse, concluding with a long and precise finish. At once charming and serious, it's a beautifully rendered Champagne."
