Community Tasting Note

• Vino Me wrote: 94 points

  October 24, 2019 - Terry Theise Champagne Tasting (Chicago; 10/23/2019-10/24/2019 (Vin Chicago): Poured at a tasting by David Pehu. This was my first time tasting any wines from this estate and they impressed me. This wine is 100% Grand Cru single vineyard Chardonnay sourced from Les Basses Correttes in Verzenay. 70% of the wine is aged in used French barrels. This is an extra brut with 2g/l dosage. Light straw color. Very floral on the nose. Notes of toasted brioche, chalk and lemon/limes. Good minerality on the finish. An excellent bottle. 93-94 points.

If you try and open the info there on #6, then you see a photo of #1, yet the wine is called Blanc de Blancs, but it goes on to list the wine as 100% Pinot Noir.

  What seemed to sort it out for me is that the actual back label on my bottle says "Cepage: Chardonnay". Who the hell knows....I have both #1 and #6 but based on your TN, I am going with #6. Thanks for the insight.
