I opened this with Tom and Kim. Very fruit with attractive peach notes. Even though it is very dry, the fruit flavor is so ripe and fresh that it gives the perception of sweetness. However, the minerality, lemon acidity, and dry austerity all work together to keep it focused and interesting. At the same time, you sense the custardy creaminess that you would want in a nice Champagne. Lots of life here (I liked it better than the Margraine Demi-Sec the next night). Good match with smoked salmon over cream cheese with dill and capers, decent match with Chickpeas and Roasted squash, and really nice with Manchego (just ok with aged gouda). Next time, try it with scallops, sushi, and especially foie gras (the fruitiness might be really nice with foie gras). I think ageing this for a little longer would help unify the different pieces and maybe create even more creaminess and complexity. I’m a fan, though.

Large dollop 😇 (7 days under Coravin and parfait) of NV J.L. Vergnon Murmure Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Premiere Cru (12%). Pale yellow on the eye…Chardonnay shining. Lively herbal, slightly spicy, lemony and minerally fragrance…très intéressant. Dramatically dry, luscious lip smacking, dense…a big yippee to begin the evening 🥳…Sir Buddy, my Beagle, seal of approval 🐶.

Splash (Coravin sparkling 🙏) of J.L. Vergnon Murmure Premier Cru, Brut Nature…drier than the driest desert in the world…which apparently Atacama Desert in Chile (I have no idea, but Mr Google is always correct 😉)

Crisp & clean, tight bubbles. High- acidity with good body. Excellent wine paired with seafood.
