Notes:

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2010
Warm, toasty aromatics emerge from the 2004 Brut Premier Cru Grand Cellier d'Or. This is a seriously young wine that will require quite a bit of patience, but it already shows fabulous depth and a sublime, enveloping finish. The 2004 Grand Cellier d'Or is 80% Chardonnay from Les Blanches Voies and 20% Pinot Noir from Les Blanches Voies and Basses Greves, bottled with 9 grams of dosage. This is a fabulous wine from Vilmart. Disgorged December 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. 94 points.

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 2010
($83; 80% chardonnay and 20% pinot noir; disgorged December, 2009) Pale, green-tinged yellow. Smoke, nectarine and lemon curd on the nose, with a deeper licorice quality that builds with air. Supple, palate-coating orchard and pit fruit flavors possess serious energy and pick up weight in the mid-palate. Nicely blends richness and vivacity, and finishes very long, with outstanding clarity and lingering smokiness. Based on my experience, this is a baby, but it tastes awfully good right now. 92 points.
