"Krug 1995 is characterized by a lustrous pale gold colour and playful streams of bubbles. On the nose, delights by its rare combination of ripeness and delicacy, its fragrant hints of white flowers, freshly baked gingerbread and candied fruits alongside ripe melon. In the mouth, Krug 1995 is generous and full, velvety with a hint of almonds and honey, perfectly balanced with fresh citrus fruits, even pink grapefruit enhanced by a remarkable finish."

Or maybe this?

2006 Taittinger ‘Comtes de Champagne’ Blanc de Blanc Chardonnay 750ML valued at $200/bottle at the winery (only 1.27% of the offered bottles)

**Accolades:** 

95 pts.- Wine Enthusiast: "Taittinger's prestige cuvee epitomizes the Chardonnay predilection of this producer. This now-mature bottling is elegant and very stylish. Toast and a soft texture combine with great complexity to reveal a wine that is poised and ready to drink. But with the acidity in the background, it could still age, so drink now and until 2022. Cellar Selection.”

94 pts.- Wine Spectator: "A vivacious Champagne, with fine integration of the racy acidity and chalky bead, rich mineral character and creamy palate of glazed apricot, ground anise, biscuit and passion fruit flavors. Offers a firm, focused finish. Drink now through 2030."

Winemaker Notes:
Produced only in exceptional vintage years and intended as the ultimate expression of the Taittinger style, this wine is composed entirely of Chardonnay grapes grown in the top vineyards of the prestigious Côte des Blancs. Only the first press juice is used. A small proportion (5%) of the blend spends three to four months in new oak barrels, enhancing the intrinsic qualities of the final blend. Prior to disgorgement, the Blanc de Blancs is aged for 10 years on the lees in 13th-century chalk cellars that were once the property of Saint Nicaise abbey.

2005 Ayala Perle d'Ayala Champagne Brut 750ML valued at $160/bottle at the winery (only 0.42% of the offered bottles)

Accolades:

93 pts.- International Wine Cellar: “Pale gold. Pungent, sharply focused citrus and orchard fruit aromas are complemented by suggestions of brioche, smoky minerals and jasmine, with a hint of melon emerging with air. Silky, nervy and dry, offering taut Meyer lemon and bitter pear skin flavors and a suggestion of truffle. Finishes stony and very long, with lingering smokiness and an echo of white flowers. There's a very attractive delicacy to this Champagne. 6 g/l Dosage.”

92 pts.- Wine Advocate: “Ovaltine, straw, dried flowers and fruits, as well as baked apples on the nose lead the 2005 Cuvee Perle d'Ayala Millésime Brut to a lean, pure, elegant, firmly and freshly structured Champagne of great finesse, with citrus aromas in the long and complex finish. This is an excellent Champagne full of intensity and tension-filled expression. It is still young but full of hope.” Winemaker Notes: This beautifully refined prestige cuvée is 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, all from Grand Cru villages. Ayala currently owns 35 acres in Champagne. Thanks to its privileged location in the heart of the Grand Crus of Montagne de Reims and their link to Bollinger, they also have unique access to top quality grapes. Everything from grape reception to vinification, aging, riddling and disgorgement is done at the Ayala cellars. The Cuvée Perle d’Ayala rests in the cellar for 8-9 years after disgorgement under cork (not crown), in order to allow for controlled oxidation and development of complex aromas and flavors. This is a very rare practice in Champagne today.
