Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 27, 2016 - We sipped this bottle while watching England vs Ireland in the Rugby Six Nations Tournament. Brute force softened by elegant bubbles :-)

Disgorged May 2014. Zero dosage. This should be fun!

Light yellow with barely evident, tiny bubbles (they do resound in our ears when swirling around our palate) slowly reaching for the top of the white Bordeaux wine glass. If we had white Burgundy glasses at our serviced apartment, we would have used. Note to ourselves to mention this error in inventory to the management ;-). Oh well...

Aromas of soft, toasted almonds, nutty and some vanilla-cream. We did not expect that much elegance in such a young (2008) Blanc de Blancs, but the wine is elegantly alive on the nose. A young lady radiating maturity beyond her years...you have met her at least once in your life and you were impressed!

Palate is bold, sophisticated texture, definitely dry and sufficiently creamy with a fairly long, somewhat sour finish. She does not shy away after over-impressing from the start. Very interesting.

Definitely a winner and reasonably priced. We can see an even more exciting future...now we just have to pick-up a dozen or two dozen bottles...preferably at wholesale prices!
