Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 15, 2023 - A blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 30% Pinot Meunier. 13 years on the lees. Disgorged February 2021. Deep gold. Apple, ripe lemon, floral notes, biscuit, nuts, almond, marzipan, and brioche, with good acidity and very good length. The medium-fine mousse is round and perceived as lightly creamy. Good body and concentration. Hugely benefits from aeration. I can see why some are referencing Krug and DP, but (based on this one bottle) to me the Comme Autrefois 2005 is not quite on that level. The former usually have even better structure, and are even more drinkable. But that is splitting hairs. The Comme Autrefois 2005 is very good, and is not done justice by comparing it to big brand bottlings.
