Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 19, 2022 - Blanc de Blancs over lunch (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): A delicious Champagne, drinking quite at peak at 32 years of age. It had such a lovely nose - red apples, yeast, fresh bread, all laced with just taht little oxidative egde in the form of savoury, ciderish aromas. The palate was soft, rounded, and ripe, but still showed a lovely balance in its mature flavours of honeysuckle, orange blossom and honey, all dancing a round a core of red apples and preserved lemons. The mousse had been tamed after all these years, but there was a lovely bit of juicy acidity to this, all very nicely integrated, though still fresh enough to give the wine some persistence as it glided away into gliding away into a minerally tail. Not super long at the finish, but decent enough. With time, in the glass, all sorts of little complexities started emerging - butter, nuttiness, some saline notes, a bit of mushrooms, all playing against those lovely matured notes of apples and honey. Such a lovely drop this. I am glad we caught it at its apogee.
