Champagne Cornucopia - DP vs Krug MV (Chez D): Another generous extra, this time from the cellar of Magnum Mike. Clearly a simpler wine but well put together, “refreshing” if that doesn’t count as damning with faint praise, and most welcome at this stage of proceedings.

Retail $65. 50% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Meunier. One of my favorite houses that I don’t drink all that much simply because it’s not all that available in the US. And the rosé is even more difficult to find. I was at a restaurant in Austin with my lovely bride and one of our preferred restaurants and not only did they have the rosé, but it was half-off bubbles Thursday (there has to be a better name for that). Salmon color with red berries and, interestingly, a bit of mocha(?). Yeah, weird. The palate is fruity and nice with good acidity and bubbles. Solid.
Purchased through a nearby restaurant and distributor. I loved it at a local wine dinner, hence the purchase but on opening it at home, seemed like not at all the same wine. Funky, a bit sour, and no amount of bread or cheese could offset it. Color was more orange than pink. Batch says 2017. Is that old for this NV?

(NV Henriot Brut Rose Champagne) A beguiling wine with aromas of brioche, fresh baked bread, strawberry and toast. It’s lighter in style, elegant with mouthwatering acidity and a beautiful sense of balance.
(NV Henriot Champagne Brut Rosé) Light orange pink color; tart orange, tart strawberry nose and palate; medium-plus finish

Medium+ nose intensity with notes of red cherry, strawberry, bread, toast, mineral. High acidity.

Yummy. Some say simple, I think it is well balanced with nice red fruit and a touch of dosage. Easy and everyone loves it.
