(NV Henri Goutorbe Rosé Brut) ($66.00) All ’07, disgorged 10/10. As usual all Aÿ, 75/25 PN/CH, all ’07, disgorged 10/10. Aromas of sun-heated cherry tomatoes, and the palate is both fruity and zippy, malty and croissant-y. A markedly attractive wine, whose fruit you want to study, yet it’s so fresh and gulpable you find you just can’t. They like to bring old vintages out to taste, especially vintages with poor reputations, to show that fine wine can be made in Aÿ in even the weakest of years. Thus the excellent ’87 we tasted happily. But the real reward was a beautiful ’83, with its gorgeous essence of grownup Champagne fragrance – yet the palate was gauzy and almost crisp; an old soul encased in a child’s body, it skips to you and looks at you with basset-eyes, all loving and seeing and knowing. Then it giggles away.
