($100, Vintus):  The grapes for this bottling come exclusively from four grand cru villages in the Côte des Blancs, the area within the Champagne region known for Chardonnay.  One taste explains why many people swoon over a Blanc de Blancs Champagne.  Light and precise with a creamy richness, it gently massages the palate.  Its Grand Cru pedigree is immediately apparent. 93 Michael Apstein May 29, 2012
