Tasted Tuesday, May 15, 2007 by Burgundy Al with 836 views
The Lieu-dit Cru, my Chicago-based Burgundy group got together for a new dinner format for our group. This "blind white" format is an expansion on how we typically start our dinners with two related bottles of white Burgundy, served blind. In this case, there is one theme for the evening but only 2 of the 10 people provided the wine so knew the theme. Everybody else was double blind from the start.
Great dinner, great format, I'm sure we will do this again.
1988 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 94 Points
France, Champagne
A very civilized way to start the evening. Tasted incredibly fresh with nice citrus elements at the outset. Traces of yeasty character were just starting to emerge on the finish. Wonderful wine. Not as rich as the 1990 DP but this is showing similarities to the (surprisingly good to me) 1993 I had last year, but this 1988 just showed far "more" of everything good.
