(NV Henri Goutorbe "Cuvée Prestige" Brut) ($56.00) This is the same blend as last year (mostly ’05) though a later disgorgement of 7/10. The wine is classically sweet-hay, brioche, peach blossom, both firm and generous. Over time a small nuance of the ’05 “potato” note has emerged, which was not noticeable before. I have this wine in my cellar and will monitor it over the next few months.
