We gathered at Bullion on a Tues for a night of great food, wine and company. MK worked with Julie Braunstein (sommelier) for a nice selection of wines to go with the small dishes and meals. As usual, the food, wine, and service were stellar. Fantastic evening for everyone.
The champagne was the starter for oysters. With other appetizers, came out the savagnin and savennieres. Excellent matches with the food.
These came out to match our entrees.
Had the Baumard with an assortment of desserts that were shared.
So much learned tonight in regards to the wine. DRC showed so much promise but was so young. Most had the Prevost and Ch. Nenin as their favorite wines, which I wholeheartedly agreed.
NV Jérôme Prévost Champagne La Closerie Extra Brut Les Beguines 92 Points
France, Champagne
Not sure of disgorgement date. Yeasty, brioche and nutty aromas that complement the tart apple and citrus with just a hint of caramel. Palate showed a nice melange of baked and tart apples, lemons, lots of minerals, with a nice nutty oxidative note. Elegant with nice depth. Finishes with minerals, citrus and a nice bitter pith. 92+

Mild nutty aromas with red delicious apples, minerals and some plastic varnish. The was a bit warm so this may have affected the taste. Tart apples on the palate, with some minerals, and bitter pith. Medium bodied with excellent acids and a nice finish. My main issue is that while the wine was fine, it lacked distinctiveness and a sense of place.

Nice mildly nutty, baked apple aromas, minerals and a hint of caramel. Palate with more tart gala apples, hints of lemon, nice bitter pith and mild minerals. Excellent acid in medium - full bodied frame, Nice finish.
