Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 18, 2023 - Paul's Annual Champagne Tasting (2023 edition, all from Magnum) (At Paul's Place): Disgorged November 2017, which means if I got the data right, this is on the lees over a decade. More than half from Cramant, with about a third from Chouilly and the small remainder from Cuis. 4 grams of dosage. This is a wine that expresses the lemony quality of the CdB, of its Chardonnay so very well. The lemon has a decadence, a perceived weight that I enjoyed because the wine remains fresh, even for what is approaching 20 years old. Green apple, too. Brig, who was seated next to me tasting it ,told me that it reminded him of White Burg, and I can definitely see that impression. When this warmed up some more, the texture does fatten, with some slate and light lime flavor. Kind of a wine that flushes over the palate. Enjoyed this a lot.
