N.V. Champagne Trouillard, Blanc de Blancs,
12/750ml
The House of Trouillard has incredible holdings on
the Côtes de Blancs. The vineyard's rating average 94-95, just
one of the reasons the Blanc de Blancs has such incredible
raciness and elegance. It is a Cuvée of eleven different Crus
in the Reims Mountain, the Côtes de Blancs and the
Sézannaise region and is the specialty of the house.
Made of 100% Chardonnay with a green-gold color,
characteristic of Chardonnay, and with fine persistent
bubbles. This wine has an aroma that jumps out of the glass
and is very inviting. On the nose there are seductive scents
of warm almond croissant and honey, lightened by some floral
notes. Crisp and refreshing in the mouth and lively with a
very refined fruitiness and a touch of smokiness typical of
wines from the Côtes des Blancs. The elegance and subtlety of
the Chardonnay are to be especially appreciated as an
aperitif, and nicely accompanies shellfish and fish.
It has become the favorite of those who know Champagne
Trouillard.
"Pale straw, with an energetic bead. Racy citrus and pear
aromas are sharpened by white pepper and dusty minerals, which
carry through a long, tangy finish. Quintessential
chardonnay-based Champagne, with admirable freshness and
balance."
- International Wine Cellar (Nov. 2007)- 90 pts
"Mixes citrus and candied berry notes with a hint of
yeast and pastry in an appealing way. Elegant and deftly
balanced, with a crisp mineral finish. Drink Now."
- Wine Spectator (Dec 15, 2006), 90 pts
"Light
green gold color. A rich and complex Blanc de Blancs with a
rich mousse and fine beads. Lively aromas of lime zest, pear,
and fresh dough. Soft and round on the palate, beautifully
balanced and long lasting on the palate. Key-lime
pie in a bottle."

2002 Champagne Trouillard, Cuvée du Fondateur,
Brut, 6/750ml
The wine is made of 100% Chardonnay grapes coming from the
Côte des Blancs vineyards. A very limited bottling.
Its sparkling gold color is vivid and bright. The aromas are
floral and honeyed with a wisp of vanilla. The palate is
elegantly full with ripe white peach flavors and toasty
overtones but balanced with a lively freshness, and delicacy
on the long finish.
A beautiful tribute to the top champagne produced at the
Maison Trouillard and a decadent partner to foie gras!
"Bright
gold with a frothy mousse. Honeyed orange and pear on the
nose, with subtle leesiness adding depth. Delicate and
focused, offering fresh apple, pear, tangerine and anise
flavors. This balanced, pure, graceful wine offers good
finishing lift and cut and an echo of honey. Would be perfect
with a rich seafood dish."

1999 Champagne Trouillard, Cuvée du Fondateur,
Brut, 6/750ml
The wine is made of 100% Chardonnay grapes coming from the
Côte des Blancs vineyards. A very limited bottling.

on the long finish.
A beautiful tribute to the top champagne produced at the
Maison Trouillard and a decadent partner to foie gras!
"Yellow-gold with a very fine bead. Bright lemon and pear
skin aromas are gently underscored by subtle leesiness and
sweet butter. Impressively focused citrus and orchard fruit
flavors expand and deepen with air, picking up an exotic
cardamom quality while maintaining vivacity. Offers excellent
grip and depth on the long, juicy finish. There's plenty of
spine here to give it a long life, but I wouldn't hesitate to
drink it now." - International Wine Cellar (Nov/Dec 2007), 91 pts
