Community Tasting Note

Shay.Aldriedge Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 9, 2019 - I love the info on the back of these bottles as they give detail to the base vintage and when they were disgorged. This is ‘08 base, disgorged 2017.

Right up my alley. I’d call this oxidative, but not overly so. There is a Krug-ness about this style. It’s toasty and savory with a little caramel, toffee and baked apple. Creamy. For my personal taste, while I enjoy all champagne cold, this is one of the few styles that holds up well even once it warms up slightly as there isn’t a lot of tartness here. 40% of this is from Reserve wine, and it shows (in such a wonderful way). I think this has got to be my favorite non-vintage champagne.
