We always donate an evening of classic wine and food pairings at the annual Hospice House Auction. Last night's was won by friends. It was one of those infrequent and extraordinary nights when each bottle met or exceeded expectations.
Obligatory saber start. With vegetable, cheeses and a whole serrano ham.
With toast points, deviled eggs, potato chips, crème fraîche
Close the books on another outstanding evening. Charge MB's social battery, and load up on statins before the next.
2013 Vilmart & Cie Champagne Premier Cru Rosé Emotion
France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru
(4/6/2024)
We started the evening by sabering this bottle. Served cold after pop and pour (more of a whack and pour). It started out restrained and savory, dissimilar enough to my previous bottles that I pondered whether it was slightly corked. It simply needed alone time and warm air to blossom into the wine I know and love. Jubilent strawberry, cherry, orange peel. Some stony mineral notes. A delicious rosé with plenty of structure and material for longevity.
