NV Charles Dufour & Françoise Martinot Champagne Bistrøtage B.10 Extra Brut

A D&M Champagne Club selection (San Francisco).
This stood out.
Not especially complex but exceptionally well balanced.
Nice example of Farmer Fizz as it is not overly elegant yet has the finesse of a Grower who understands how to make a complete wine.
We are still talking about it this morning, hence the note.

Opened & thought this really is OTH.
Wasn't any petrol to it (which is expected), just completely flat and uninteresting.
But as always, gave it a chance to breathe and find itself again.
Which it did after an hour and became a perfectly acceptable near-the-end-of-its-drinking-window riesling.
Yes the fruit has largely faded, but somehow that doesn't mean the acids completely dominate.
Weight, mouthfeel, color are all spot on.
Bottom line: Drink 'em if you got 'em.
Not a lot left to go on here.
Also interesting is that this has a glass cork. For an aged wine I cannot say it was detrimental.

Agree with those that state its a rare miss - at least that's how it started out.
But after 5 days in the fridge with a cork, this came around to be a fabulous drink. Yes its soft & a bit creamy, but the tropical fruits combined with the gentle acid spine make for a wonderfully after dinner quaff.
Day One was paired against a decanted AJ Adams 2010 Hofberg - the Hofberg was a truly stunning bottle, so this seemed meh in comparison.
Bit curious how day 5 of this would stand up to the Hofberg... hmmm . may have to dig around the cellar to see if that can happen.
