Another killer Wednesday Wine Committee lineup. As always, 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind.
New producer to me. And I don’t think I recall seeing “old vine” champagne before, and it being vintage even. I called this older NV French champagne...it had sweet toast on the nose with nougat, but the palate was more refreshing with limestone, chalk and a touch of stone fruit. I’d like to taste one of these younger to get a feel for style. Quite nice.
