The 2014 Brut Spécial Club is one of the best wines I have tasted from Chiquet. It captures all of the energy and vibrancy of the year, while showing tremendous textural presence and fine overall balance. Aging for more than seven years on the lees along with a touch of dosage worked beautifully here. Bright saline notes extend the finish. This is a gorgeous wine in every way. Disgorged: December, 2021.

Made from 70% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir, the nose of the 2014 Champagne Special Club Brut is quite attractive, with ripe stone fruit (fresh apricot), pretty flowers, and a touch of honeycomb and marzipan. The palate is approachable and finessed and has the most elegance in the range. Drink over the next 15 or more years.

A mouthwatering Champagne, with firm acidity swathed in a creamy cloak of flavor and plush texture. Features flavors of ripe Asian pear and nectarine, almond blossoms, preserved lemon and pickled ginger that are finely detailed and linger alongside a chalky base note on the lasting finish. Disgorged December 2021. Drink now through 2030. 125 cases imported.
