L'Alchimiste Premiere Cru Brut Champagne Rosé Blend
Champagne, France
Difficult bottle, very closed in. Had to decant and swirl to open it a little. Eventually characteristics started to show step by step but this wine never really blossomed. The finish was slightly 'moused'. I have the impression that we only saw a tiny part of what this could be. Makes me wondering about other bottles.

Vinous, in need of food! It resembled a VCP red base wine from Bouzy: super high acid, red fruits and rustic tannins.

Extra extra brut! Very dry on the palate but a very candied cherry nose. Took a while to come around but it was almost too
