Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 22, 2019 - I’m a little confused— me and the guys at Sutton Wine Shop can’t find any dates on any Billecart or Laurent brut rosé. Or perhaps Brute Rosé.

So I’m reviewing the NV Laurent Rosé. (Does the cellie translate bar codes into vintages? I was feeling so on top of things earlier, too..)

A light orange pink, quick-vanishing frothy mousse, but a very persistent bead of six or seven streams of tiny bubbles. (A few neon tetras could easily become a school in there.)

I have a some hay flax and strawberry notes, a bit ponderous, but not bad. I think it’s more mineral and a bit of stems than grapefruits but I gotta say ok to Ruby Reds. Tough to shake the idea (and scent) of pink grapefruit based on the color of the beverage alone. (It’s uncannily like the juice left in the bowl after a grapefruit was therein devoured.)

90-91
I think I prefer billecart but this stuff’s similar.

(I been spoiling this bistro. I came in with this swill tonight and they said corkage if they sell it — I said how much for either and turns out they don’t sell it. POURED 1994 Hillside, 2000 Yquem, Multiple Deuce Chambertin, 96 Margaux, etc liberally all around here lately. Ah human nature.)
