Six of us gathered for dinner at Acqua to make some new wine friends along with introductions and Champagne/Apps at Beckys beforehand and dessert after.
2008 Veuve Doussot Champagne Ernestine Millesime 91 Points
France, Champagne
Pale gold color. Drank 2 glasses over an hour plus. I was quite pleased with this little number. Very solid, and I'm glad I have a stash of them. The nose has a lot of green apple, nutty, almond, yeasty, minerals. The palate is medium bodied, nice crispness, green apple, pear, almond, yeasty, slightly chalky minerality. Good length and quite bright. Drinks well already.
