Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 10, 2022 - Kutch Verticals--Trout Gulch, McDougall and Falstaff: Second time I have had the 2009. I've really enjoyed it both times. 1/3rd Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir from Cumieres. No dosage. Lemony, with a creamy edge and wet stone. Crisp yet with a good imprint of fruit. I really like how the acidity freshens the wine, adding the lift. This just hits me perfectly, right in the lane for the Champagne style I like to drink--balance, medium weight, bright, all the descriptors I end up when I have a really good Champagne in my glass.. I'm going to break down this week and get some locally that continues to be available. There is also 12 locally so time to revisit that, and I see now that the 2015 is coming out. Truthfully, and I mean no negativity or faint praise, but I would rather drink this Starck bottling than Cristal.
