Though not the same as it was pre-COVID -19, a handful of us were able to gather (while keeping our distance) to celebrate being back together and opened some fun wines to share. Wine is always better with good company.
One of two champagnes for the evening (the other being a Cédric Bouchard Val Villane, which I posted about a few weeks ago). A producer I’m semi familiar with. Rich and dense aromatics in that oxidative style, but it’s more fruit driven than I expected. Some yeast, good bit of chalk and limestone. Bruised pear, caramel dipped golden delicious apple and apple strudel too. Acidity was mellow and it toed the line of champagne and still wine. A champagne I’d like to try again. Thanks @Weston Eidson

Super precise but not over the head acidic. Just enough roundness to leave you slightly satisfied, but yearning for more. Easy drinking.

Golden yellow, quite beautiful. Liquor like aroma with slight citrus. Citrus acidic. Minerally. @2420, domaine, 210404

A step up from the L’Overture, the L’Accomplie has a bit more depth, orchard fruit flavor (Lemon, bruised apple). 20% Chardonnay, 80% Pinot Noir.

Year-end dinner with great friends at one of our favorite wine bars.
Good concentration of stone fruit and yeasty notes and some saline qualities. Perfect way to kick off dinner and get the palate salivating.
