A bistro wine, deep purplish, fruit forward on the nose and palate. Tanins need additional year for softening, the minor astringent gives it body and thickness. Oak is noticed. — 10 months ago
Hint of smokey rubberiness that sometimes afflicts many of Laurent’s wines. But it is loaded with a material and holding back a lot in reserve. Seems less fussy than before and purer and more transparent as well. — 6 years ago

Domaine Dhont-Grellet champagne extra brut from the village of Cramant. Perhaps also lower atmospheres of pressure?
Fermented in barrel, full malo, 70% 2017 harvest, 30% reserve perpetual since 1986. Aged about 2 years on lees. 1 g/l dosage.
Silky, creamy style with a rich buttery feeling in the palate. This seems like a good choice for rich shellfish dishes. — 4 years ago
