Brut Rosé Champagne Chardonnay Blend

9.3

Finally a night or weekend we weren’t working on our rental, rushing to get some Christmas shopping done or getting ready to entertain holiday guests. It’s a night for us to chill out. That’s a good thing. It is also our final night to enjoy all our Christmas candlelights before we pack up tomorrow. 😔

We didn’t even enjoy any of one our very favorite N/V Rosé Champagnes over the holidays.

Tastes really good tonight. Showing shades of carbonated Dreamsicle or Creamsicle. However, you remember them growing up. Rich, ripe, candied & lean; black cherries, strawberries, cherries and summertime leaner watermelon. Baguette, grey volcanics, sea spray and finely powdered, razor sharp chalkiness with candied, pink rose pedals. Perfect, crisp, lively acidity and long, rich, well polished & balanced finish with persistence.

Hope you all have had a great start to 2020!

Grande Cuveé 164ÈME Édition Brut Champagne Blend

A wonderful open nose. Composed lean lemon with a steely backbone, chalk. This is young but so splendid and dazzling now. I should wait, but this is spectacular now. All that flinty sharp structure but amazing fruit — 7 years ago

The 06 is out very soon. I’d imagine the 08 will be a while... save time for your own fanfare

@Conrad Green Thank you I completely forgot the 06 was not released yet,

Thibaud Boudignon

Anjou Chenin Blanc 2021

Pale straw with a particularly vivacious nose. You’re greeted with aromas of umami and wet stones. There’s plenty of floral notes here, along with green apples and a faint touch of vanilla.

Clean, precise, and linear. This is a delicious Chenin Blanc. The key here is the acid that runs throughout. Sharp and contemplative while remaining generous. The palate is fresh and direct with citrus and minerality. Outstanding.

La Closerie Les Béguines Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier

LC 12. So sharp and angular, citrus, high acidity, and bright red fruit - May have even guessed Rosé if I were blindfolded. I loved it but it may not be for everyone. — 5 years ago

This is exactly the same juice as the regular Dom Perignon. The only differences are the label, box and price. Smart marketing😇

I believe there is a different disgorgement date but they’re otherwise identical. They did taste slightly different. It’s a great wine

En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

My favorite of Lamy’s wines. Fresh, focused and with sharp acidity, ripe citrus fruits, crushed oyster shells, white flowers and hints of salty sea spray with ample mid-palate concentration. Finishes with very good length and precision. — 6 years ago

Absolutely gorgeous champagne that is right down the middle in terms of style. Tart lemon, toast, chalk, and a hint of nuttiness. Sharp and acidic but tons of layers here. Continuously evolving on the palate revealing limestone, powder sugar dusted lemon bars, and roasted almonds. This is built for the long haul, but certainly enjoyable now. Thanks @Mark Flesher . — 7 years ago
