Saturday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Disgorged April 2011, V. 09. I would give this wine a 50 for its label if I could. They are different every year, and the same information is a hide-and-seek on every different bottle. The wine itself is starting to show some old Champagne notes on the nose and palate. Slightly yeasty, but also without the breadth to hold that kind of profile. Still hangs onto a bit of freshness, which is redeeming.

Magnifique Champagne, couleur or prononcée. Un nez de pain brioché, touche d’amandes, beaucoup de fruits blancs, poires mures juteuses en particulier que l’on retrouve au palais aussi. Une bouche magnifique, un peu crémeuse, des bulles fines, serrées et élégantes. Acidité vive,énergie au fraîcheur au rendez-vous pour cette très belle bouteille. 93-94
Magnificent bottle, the color is dark gold. Pastry and a touch of almonds, lots of white fruits, juicy ripe pears in particular that come out also on the delicious palate, fresh, fine and tight bubbles, slightly creamy, vivid acidity and freshness, lots of energy, very good bottle. 93-94

Fantastic tonight. Smooth and fruity. Perfect example of Blanc de noir for my taste. Dough and a nice mild stone fruit like white peach. Just delicious.

I enjoyed this quite a bit, although not as much as recent bottlings with less age.
