This was the fall event for the Mpls Commanderie de Bordeaux chapter. About 22 were attendance for the event held at Jamie Malone's fine dining space known as Paris Dining Club/Petit Atelier. The theme was Chateau Montrose comparing vintage of 1978, 1996, and 2005. All the wines showed quite well and were essentially a course in the aging curve and drinking curve of Bordeaux.
NV Ployez-Jacquemart Champagne Cuvée Granite 90eme Anniversaire 93 Points
France, Champagne
Light golden color. Drank a glass over 40 minutes. 61% Chardonnay, 31% Pinot Noir, 8% Pinot Meunier. This was a one off cuvee with a blend of vintages: 1976, 1982, 1983, 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Extra Brut dosage. This was quite bright, nectarine and ripe apple, a sweetness comes through on the palate which I equate more to sweet pastry cream essence than actual dosage based on the extra brut style. Good minerality, excellent depth and definition. Very classy.
