Community Tasting Note

The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 5, 2020 - Retail $60. 44 to 48 % Pinot Noir, 25 to 29 % Chardonnay, 13 to 18 % Meunier. I have written more than enough on this wine and I have no problem admitting that I am a fan. Sure, the dosage is a bit on the sweet side, but there is good fruit, nice complexity (due, no doubt, to the liberal use of reserve wines), and a lengthy finish. Sure, Clicquot is huge, corporate, and likely devoid of anyone who has dit under the fingernails, but that does not render this a *bad* champagne. The scores here on Cellar Tracker range from 100 (?!) down to 70 (?!?!), with one of the commenters claiming, basically, that Veuve rosé is insipid and that you (we?) should all drink grower champagne. Give me a break, "farmer fizz" is not inherently better just because it is produced by the grower. That's just a stupid comment. I have tasted a ton of champagne, trust me, this is Excellent. thedrunkencyclist.com
