2014	Sabate i Coca	Brut Nature 'Sabate i Coca Mosset'	Very ripe fruit, full of toast aromas and a rich nose full of nuances. Complex. Quite dry, but a restrained freshness. On the palate, it keeps its very ripe fruit flavors paired with fennel and nuts (but no pastry). Well made with a tight finish.	Jancis Robinson	16		2020-08-12
2012	Sabate i Coca	Brut Nature 'Sabate i Coca Josep Coca'	Stuffed and gourmand. It possesses freshness, expressiveness and a moderate autolytic profile. Delicate, smooth and with an integrated mousse. On the palate, it is fine, fluid and long. Very toasted and with notes of almonds in its depth. Expressive and balanced.	Jancis Robinson	16.5		2020-08-12
2008	Sabate i Coca	Brut Nature 'Sabate i Coca Reserva Familiar'	Creamy notes, pear drop, dairy notes, complex with toasty aromas from the oak. Very gourmand and large. It has creaminess and roundness. Long and powerful, with liquor notes. It has a really vinous character.	Jancis Robinson	17		2020-08-12
2017	Sabate i Coca	Brut Nature Reserva 'Castellroig'	Marcel's classic "basic" method, obtained by mixing Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada grapes from 24 different plots. Twenty-two months in yeast, degorged 10/2019. Soft nose of flowers and fruits. Fine and persistent pearlage. In the mouth, a pleasant verticality, with notes of citrus and green apple. Freshness and elegance combined with ease of drinking.	winemag.it	90		2020-08-12
2014	Sabate i Coca	Brut Nature 'Sabate i Coca Mosset'	It is the result of the assembly of 6 "terraces", whose grapes have been carefully selected. Given Marcel's approach, in this case it would be better to talk about setting up land, rather than grapes. In the word of "Mosset", Xarel·lo predominates over the Macabeo and an elegant Parellada: 55 months with the lees, degorged 10/2019. Bright straw yellow with hints of clean minerals, notes of exotic fruits and hints of anise and wild fennel. The taste is confirmed iodized, fruity, citrus, with a long, slightly spicy finish. Its rich structure and creamy pearl make it a sparkling wine of absolute gastronomic value.	winemag.it	91		2020-08-12
2012	Sabate i Coca	Brut Nature 'Sabate i Coca Josep Coca'	Xarel·lo (85%) and Macabeo (15%) from old vineyards for the label dedicated to Marcel's grandfather, Josep, the man who started the family business, planting the first vineyards. Degorged 09/2019, 78 months on yeast. This is the most "Champagne" Corpinnat in the Sabaté and Coca range, with notes of lees well integrated with those of the varietal. Exemplary expression of Xarello, which is expressed here in a high concentration of aromas and in a large structure, well wrapped in the notes of pastry. Remarkable is the wrap of Mediterranean bush and iodine. A return trip from France to the Penedès.	winemag.it	92		2020-08-12
2011	Sabate i Coca	Brut Nature 'Sabate i Coca Reserva Familiar'	Her Majesty the Xarello, as a mother did: in purity, in the glass. Degorged 10/2019, 92 months on yeast. This is the blend of 3 small plots of the estate of Terroja, 30% fermented in chestnut barrels, aged for 4 months. Once again, Marcel relies on the ancient vineyard and the expressions of the land to give one of the classic poster methods of the Penedès. A concentrated, full and structured Xarello, but of great elegance and freshness. Above all, the "youth" of this Corpinnat sip of extraordinary longevity is striking.	winemag.it	93		2020-08-12
2012	Sabate i Coca	Brut Reserva Garnatxa Rose 'Sabate i Coca'	The 2012 Reserva Familiar Rosé Brut is an unusual rosé made with Garnacha grapes and the only sparkling wine produced with some added sugar, because the wine was too austere and had so much acidity that it was impossible to domesticate. This is not your classical rosé, because this is a super mineral wine (like all the wines I tasted with owner Marcel Sabaté). This has aged for a very long time sur lie, and it feels young and unevolved, with a long life ahead of it. A mineral sparkling rosé! 5,760 bottles produced.	Wine Advocate	92		2020-08-12
2018	Jolete Wines	Pinot Noir Willamette Valley	This is a step up from its companion release, Le Verre Cuvée, with concentrated flavors of cranberry and raspberry fruit. There are chewy tannins, which should continue to smooth out with further bottle age, and a lightly earthy foundation, all in good proportion. Best to give this another year or two in the cellar before popping the cork.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2020-08-11
2018	Jolete Wines	Pinot Noir 'Le Verre Cuvee' Willamette Valley	A better than average vintage for this entry-level cuvée, this offers spicy red berries with pretty French herbs. There’s a hint of tomato leaf in the herbal mix, and the palate smooths out with light cherry fruit backed with generous acidity. Editors’ Choice	Wine Enthusiast	90		2020-08-11
