Sparked by a memorable tasting while working in hospitality, the owner began building his collection in 2015. The bottles were primarily acquired through LCBO Vintages monthly cellar offerings, with select additions from the SAQ and reputable auctions. Transported in temperature-controlled vehicles from the point of purchase, the collection has been stored in a professional facility, Fine Wine Reserve.

This is the tasting note for 2008 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Millesime Champagne from Robert Parker - with a score of 98 points. Disgorged in September 2017 with 7.5 grams per liter dosage, the 2008 Cristal was produced from 37 of the 45 parcels that are candidates for inclusion in this cuvée—some 40% of which were farmed organically back in 2008—and it's a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. The finest young Cristal in decades, the wine wafts from the glass with a pure and vibrant bouquet of crisp orchard fruit, clear honey, warm brioche, citrus zest and white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, intense and incisive, with superb concentration, racy acids and a long, searingly chalky finish. Pristinely balanced, there are some 500,000 bottles of this legend-in-the-making.
