  1/21 Disgorgement. Similar to my previous note, pretty and clean, but this vintage lacks concentration and intensity.

  This was solid but not great. Good energy and freshness but felt a touch tight still and maybe not fully showing the depth the palate may have in a few years.

  Champagne Bookclub (all served blind)--Viet (La Tableau in South Coast Plaza): Couldn't read the disgorgement info as it has been partially wiped away. Ironically, I had just backfilled some of this a week prior so to have it included as one of the blinds was cool. 100% Chardonnay from Chavot. Floral aroma. Pineapple, green apple and saline, what I thought was in a lower dose style. Good density and concentration. Was coiled up early on and then when I went back for another pour when it wasn't so cold, it showed a cool mix of lemony tangerine. Say whatever we want about the 2017 vintage, this wine along with the Marguet Le Parc and Mousse SC Les Fortes Terres, wines we all had blind last night from the 2017 vintage, they all showed for me terrific.

  Gingerbread, some other baked goods, the minerality is nice. On the palate, a bit salinity came through. Acidity is piercing.
