Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne

The event is called Le Fete du Champagne. This years their 10th anniversary so I suggest you go if you love champagne. They alternate every year and do it in LA, in Dallas, or in NY. Big one is coming up at the end of October in NY

Great stuff. From mag. Loads of secondary notes. Brioche, dried apricot, a lift of lemon. Lovely freshness and acidity still. Really complex, nutty and vigorous. At a perfect point for my palate and consistently one of the great 96’s

Light medium gold color. Great energy in the glass. Notes of sliced apples, kiwi, wet stones and citrus. Great minerality in the mouth. So much energy. Really showed well tonight.

Never better than tonight. Still showing lots of stone fruit, acid and energy. In a perfect window. Probably my favorite 96 champagne right now.

Awesome with white truffle scrambled eggs

This is lovely. Starting to hit the secondary phase. Some toasted brioche, warm biscuit flavors. Fine mousse with delicate acidity. Broad but refined. This is really complete, sophisticated and delicious.

This is lovely stuff. Showing signs of age but very mellow and in place. Soft breads flavors with some apricot and a hint of honey. There are delicate floral notes on the midpalate and a very generous, balanced finish. Great subtle acidity too.

Wow. This is exquisite. Oyster shells, baked bread notes, wonderful poise and length with a soft acidity and great length. This is in a great place right now.

This is gorgeous. Supple on the palate- faded lemon, gentle hints of rose, gorgeous depth and prettiness. This is so balanced and combines power with great finesse.
