Community Tasting Note

The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:

Thursday, May 20, 2021 - Retail $45. 50-55% Pinot Noir, 20-25% Pinot Meunier, 15-20% Chardonnay with 10-20% Reserve wines. My records here on Cellar Tracker indicate that I have purchased (and consumed) several cases of this wine and I would have to say that after Mailly Grand Cru Brut and Veuve Clicquot, this would be our “house champagne.” (Given the amount of champagne that we consume, we are allowed to have more than one “house champagne.” It’s a rule. I looked it up.). Yeasty, citrusy, lovely on the nose, with a straw color with a slightly golden hue, there’ are delicate, yet persistent streams of bubbles, looking to escape after their years of captivity. The palate is crisp, fresh, fruity, yeasty, and delicious. It is also a tad drier than previous iterations I have consumed with utter glee. I wonder if (relatively) new chef-de-cave Émilien Boutillat, when he replaced the legend Régis Camus in 2019, dialed back the dosage just a bit? I guess I will have to get some more and see (yes, I could do some research, but where is the fun in that?).
