Classics and Curiosities: A half bottle to keep us amused while other guests were inbound, this wasn't discussed much, and would have fit better after the BdB and BdesB that followed, but at $20 this was probably the QPR of the tasting, featuring an attractive combination of leesy, lemony richness on the nose, followed by ripe orchard fruits and brioche on the palate, balanced by a soft edge of acidity. The K&L shelf talker reports: "Although not labeled as such, this Champagne is all 2008... this Champagne is composed of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, exclusively from estate grown, organic vineyards in the Aube department."
Half Bottle. Gold. Rich from the start, lots of brioche and ripe apple and pear. Nice length, depth, complexity. Apparently this disgorgement is mostly 2008. Super stuff.
