J. Lassalle
Brut Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Champagne Chardonnay 2008
It was a 1996 Cuvée Angeline that turned my head a year ago, then a 2008. This is my first Lassalle blanc de blanc 2008 and it’s flat out gorgeous. Super citrus nose is followed by a creamy almost sweet mid palate, a thick layered wine that has little weight and just dances on the palate. It is really clean and full of finesse, acidity present but not obtrusive, just covered by the pretty fruit. This is really good, even elegant. — 3 days ago
Pierre Ponnelle
Nuits Saint-Georges Pinot Noir 1978
Great year. The label looks pristine.
recent ex cellars, I suspect. Cork was old and likely original. Labels likely recent when wine was sold. It as pretty damn good. 11 bottles to go.
