Viet generously hosted four of us on a "casual" weeknight with insane Flannery dry aged beef (ranging from 60 days, 70 days, 77 days, and 84 days), roasted chicken, and other lovely and memorable dishes. We had a total of 9 blind wines between the five of us and it was just a lovely time.
2014 Marie Courtin Champagne Concordance Extra Brut 93 Points
France, Champagne
Served blind. Love when tastings start with a bottle of Champagne.
This wine was a complete shocker. By the color and nose, I thought this was older by at least 6-8 years.
Lovely nose of hazelnut, honey, white flowers, apple sauce, and some candied fruit. It was chalky on the palate with lovely acidity, balance, and minerality. If it wasn’t so lean, I would have given it a nod as a big house Champagne. I was completely shocked to see 2014 as the vintage year. It just goes to show that Marie Courtin is legit!

2008 Jacquesson & Fils Champagne Dizy Terres Rouges Rosé 90 Points
France, Champagne
Served blind.
The nose was somewhat muted, but the palate really gave way to high tones red fruits, especially cherries. It was also a bit savory, reminding me of a Mousse, but with a more structured and dense body. Chalky, lean, nice acidity, and just a delicious wine!

2011 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ancegnières 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet
Served blind.
The signature matchstick aroma initially pulled me towards either Henri Boillot or PYCM. The richer color, youthful lemon/mineral expression, flintiness, and density of this wine correctly led me to PYCM, although I incorrectly guessed 2014 instead of 2011. Delicious wine. Unmistakably Burgundy.
