Grande Sendrée Brut Champagne 2009
#AgedWineTuesday
Light golden in color.
Nose of citrus, limes, green apples, light yeast, minerals, spices, herbs and earth.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity, and small bubbles.
Dry on the palate with ripe lemons, apples, limes, brioche, spices, earth, apricots and light forest floor.
Nice length on the finish with limes and spices.
What a delicious 15 year old Vintage Champagne. Nicely balanced and elegant. Still showing lots of fruits.
Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
A blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay. Unfiltered.
12% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Domaine Rolet
Tradition Arbois Poulsard-Trousseau Blend 2022
A blend of 40% Poulsard, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Trousseau, the 2022 Rouge Arbois Tradition displays bright red fruits alongside spicy elements. Subtle herbaceous accents add complexity, attributable to the use of approximately 20% stems from the Pinot Noir and Trousseau during fermentation. Concentrated and savory, the 2022 is neatly framed by ripe tannins and can be enjoyed over the next four years. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)
