A private lunch |  (267 page views) | | 4/29/2013 (Restaurant l'Arpège ***, Paris, France) |
| | - N.V. Gosset Champagne Grand Rosé Brut - France, Champagne
Copper and salmon colour, rich style as usual, ripe Pinots, vibrant, quite delicious. (91 pts.)
- 2002 Domaine de la Louvetrie (Landron & Fils) Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine sur lie Le Fief du Breil - France, Loire Valley, Pays Nantais, Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine sur lie
Lovely colour, intense but light for age; ever so slight initial oxidative note on the nose blows off; hint of honey; lovely ripe citrus fruit, very characteristic minerality and salinity, delicious freshness, strikes the magical balance between lightness and intensity as only aged Muscadet can. And Aligoté perhaps. (91 pts.)
- 2007 Domaine de la Butte Bourgueil Mi-pente - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Bourgueil
Silky, wonderful depth, good weight of ripe black fruit, hint of stables, lifted white pepper notes, excellent typicity, lovely freshness ("croquant", the sommelier said) and minerality, good tannic grip, lovely length. A wonderful expression of its grape, vintage and terroir. (91 pts.)
