Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 30, 2015 - Nice amount of info on the back label stating this includes 40% reserve wine, some of which is over tens years of age. This particular bottle was disgorged in 2012. I like my Champagne on the fuller side but this is almost too rich, especially after a bottle of Billecart brut. The nose indicates a fuller body but it didn't prepare me for the smoky, fruity richness that hits the palate. Reminds me of the time I barbecued a peach. Key word here is leesy. Certainly a distinctive style and I will say the fruit, while fat, rich and broad, is very precise. The Heidsieck grown on me over the last 45 minutes. Would be killer with smoked gouda, scallops also crossed my mind.
