Community Tasting Note

• MC2 Wines Likes this wine:

  April 28, 2023 - Bienvenue a Champagne; 4/20/2023-4/29/2023 (Les Crayeres, various restaurants, Les Avises and a many wonderful producers): The story behind this wine was fascinating. Much like ourselves Rodolphe has always really enjoyed old wines and wines that are truly quite old and so he set about to figure out what flavor it was that he found so compelling. He settled on marzipan and so he started thinking about how he could give his wines some of that marzipan style. This is all reserve wine mixed from the best large barrel, best stainless steel tank and best concrete vessel. He hit it right on. Sometimes people mention a flavor and I don’t get it but it’s fully here. A bit more of an evolved style and much easier to drink younger. Hazelnut and almond butter and slightly toasty. Drinks quite well.
