Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 31, 2018 - I am surprised to see so many people describing this wine as peaking or close to being over-the-hill. I drank the 2010 and 2008 vintages of this wine recently and this 2000 has much more in common with the '10 and '08 than with an "old" Champagne. I thought this wine was fresh, youthful and vibrant with a scintillating acidity that was almost too intense. The fruit is still primary, and the "oxidative" notes that were present seemed more to be from extended lees aging and very similar to the oxidative notes that are even present in the very young 2010 and 2008 Les Chetillons. If I had another bottle of this 2000, I'd be putting it away for a minimum of 5-7 years before retasting.
