We took over the restaurant to toast the life of Simon Beatty, generous table-companion and wine-lover extraordinaire. He posthumously provided a number of bottles of Meursault and CNDP to fuel the gathering further.
A fitting occasion, I hope... we certainly did our best, and the wine gods were smiling on us too.
2010 Caillez-Lemaire Champagne Premier Cru Extra Brut Cuvee Jadis Millésime 93 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru
Magnum. 60% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 10% Meunier. A new producer to me, but one to seek out I think. The aromatics and flavours were very much in an exotic register - pineapple, in particular - and there was an exhilarating hint of ginger, but without any sense of heaviness. Rather, the wine was energetic and playful, with good depth and length, and so easy to enjoy in quantity.
