Very good, although a bit more in the riper fat fruit moid then crisp taunt style I was in the mode fire. Well made and solid, perhaps lacking a bit in nuance.

German, Alsace & Loire in St Paul MN ( pot hole capital of the US & apparently where snow removal is not high on Mayor Carter's list ) last night. 12 of us gathered for an admirable assortment of Reisling & decent Thai. My BdB as always with Jose Michel did not suck and drank more like $50+ bubbly. Superbly balanced, refreshing with a delicious bead of minerality, citrus and stone fruit augmented by light bread dough notes. Perhaps the 08 vintage helped too? 91+ Last of 4 acquired in Spring '18. Still going strong. Completely fresh w/ no signs mox.

Mixed bag (The Kenwood): This champagne has changed significantly in the last 3 years. This bottle was more true to a BdB style. Refreshing, crisp and light with lemon, apple and a little toast.

Refreshing, crisp and light with lemon, apple and a little toast. This is a very energetic and lively champagne.

Fresh baked bread on the nose. Some lemon/lime zippiness on the palate, with pleasant tartness. I liked this quite a bit.
