Nov 2021 disgorgement, a recent bin end purchase. Apple and cashew notes. Fine bead. Flavors of apple, honeycomb and ginger. As it warms in the glass it develops notes of ripe pear, dough and dried apricots. The pear follows on the palate as well. Paired nicely with the samusas and fried bread & chickpea starters at a local Burmese BYOB.

The Goutorbe was a new producer to me, and I really enjoyed this bottle. There’s a deeper, more vinous terroir note here, while still being highly approachable and similar in some respects to the Laherte. I’d like to explore some of this producer’s other wines, including the Special Club offering.

Met expectations without exceeding them. a fairly conformist Brut with moderate Yeast autolysis, decent length and a little noticeable RS on the finish.

(NV Henri Goutorbe Champagne Cuvée Prestige) Light yellow color with tiny bubbles; rich, tart apple, baked apple nose; tasty, baked apple, light cinnamon, mineral palate; medium-plus finish
(NV Henri Goutorbe "Cuvée Prestige" Brut) ($56.00) This is the same blend as last year (mostly ’05) though a later disgorgement of 7/10. The wine is classically sweet-hay, brioche, peach blossom, both firm and generous. Over time a small nuance of the ’05 “potato” note has emerged, which was not noticeable before. I have this wine in my cellar and will monitor it over the next few months.
(NV Henri Goutorbe Champagne Cuvée Prestige) Light yellow color; yeasty, tart apple nose; tart apple, yeasty, mineral palate, nice package; medium finish
(NV Henri Goutorbe Champagne Cuvée Prestige) Lemon and oatmeal nose; same on palate; medium finish

Die Notiz vom letzten Mal passt. Der Champagner passt ganz wunderbar zu Vorspeisen, dort stört dann auch die fehlende Säure nicht mehr so sehr.

A blend heavily weighted towards pinot noir: primarily orchard fruits, moderate acidity. I did not find anything exceptional.
