Tuesday, May 28, 2019 - "Casual" Weeknight at Viet's: Served blind. Love when tastings start with a bottle of Champagne.
This wine was a complete shocker. By the color and nose, I thought this was older by at least 6-8 years.
Lovely nose of hazelnut, honey, white flowers, apple sauce, and some candied fruit. It was chalky on the palate with lovely acidity, balance, and minerality. If it wasn’t so lean, I would have given it a nod as a big house Champagne. I was completely shocked to see 2014 as the vintage year. It just goes to show that Marie Courtin is legit!
