2017 Marguet Champagne Grand Cru Ambonnay Rosé
69 points
The Marguet bottle variation strikes again. I’m not marking flawed or defective bc I think this is weirdly a part of the house experience.
This was liner, jagged, there was no giving in the fruit or the flower.
When Marguet hits its great, but with the price increases over the years the gamble feels more painful.

Utterly peculiar. Worth a purchase.
I’ve never had Molette or Altese. There is a heaviness in the nose and mouth. kombucha meets apple pie. Some persimmon. Salt crust. Texture is a bit obese, but in a good way.
Best within the first hour.

Strength. Green apple. Ripe pear. Not offensive, but not remarkable.

For the price, it’s a good value. Persimmon and unwashed mushroom adding some complexity to nose; otherwise, plain Jane apples and citrus touch.

N.V. Laurent-Perrier Champagne Cuvée Rosé Brut

Complex enough to be worth some time. Interesting red current note. Bright. Easy. Was good on open and also evolved. Very solid.

Fantastic evening. Phil's bread brought out the cheese and maple butter. Managed to end much earlier than last time, but still...:)
