SCORE : 92 points Wine Advocate Robert Parker tasted by Antonio Galloni
The 2000 Brut Special Club is made in a richer, more overt fruit-driven style that recalls a Puligny Montrachet. This is an opulent wine loaded with varietal Chardonnay aromas and flavors, showing outstanding depth, complexity and definition. The Special Club is made from two parcels of 35 year-old vines. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation and saw 8.5 grams of dosage. This bottle was disgorged in February, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016.

I was blown away by Arnaud Margaine's wines. These are Champagnes of extraordinary purity and sheer elegance. Margaine farms 6.5 hectares, 90% planted to Chardonnay, the rest Pinot Noir.
