Just a little get together with M & B to do a little conniving, wait I mean planning for a next year's IPNC. I think we had a most successful session. Further meetings may be required.
2008 Champagne Pierre Legras Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs "Idée de Voyage" 93 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
Light gold color. Drank 2 glasses over 90 minutes. Second time with this wine and first in about 17 months. Showing very well, in fact good to go. The nose is fresh and bright with green apple, sea air, light tropical fruit, modest dough notes and cream filled pastry. The palate is focused and crisp, the green orchard fruit carries through, balanced by a vein of clean stony minerality with subtle chalk nuances. Very good and perfect as a aperitif wine.

2008 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Champagne Special Club Millesimé de Collection 93 Points
France, Champagne
Light gold color. Drank a couple glasses over 90 minutes plus. It's been 14 months since the last bottle. There'd been a run a few years back. Every bit as good as it has been now. This still is quite consistent with my previous notes. Green apple, apple peel, ginger, panna cotta texture, lemon peel, lots of chalk driven minerality which gives this more weight and demands food. 92+ to 93pts.
