2004 Pascal Doquet Champagne Grand Cru Champ d'Alouette Le Mesnil-sur-Oger
2/21/2024 - phaedra Likes this wine: 95 Points
Used Bordeaux style glass for this tasting. Initial impression in glass was lovely clear yellow with fine mouse. Complex and intriguing on first taste. Not over powering of citrus notes but they were present first; in no way too lemony, more subtle. Neither was the champs too much apple. Mild brioche; one taster said it was like strawberry brioche. As wine warmed up I got a distinct nose of caramelized pears with a bit of apple in back ground. Mouth feel pleasant, not thin or weighty but with good heft for my palate. Finish there but not overlong. This wine reminded me of a 2000 VV Doquet champagne we drank 3 years ago. That bottle of Doquet was the best Champagne I’ve ever had. The 2004 Champ d’Alouette Le Misnil sur Oger reminded me of that experience…very close in pleasure .

1995 Robert Ampeau & Fils Meursault 1er Cru La Pièce-sous-le-Bois

Oxidized wine. Showed some initial promise but nothing matured in the glass as other Ampeau have. Flat finish. I do hope this is a one off experience as there is more in th cellar and I know what Rbt Ampeau et fils can do with their Chardonnay; some of my most memorable drinking , but not this time.
