  Growers Champagne Blanc de Blancs Lunch ("LE" Restaurant, Suntec City, Singapore): This was another crowd favourite - a very ready to drink Champagne. It had rich nose, a bit toasty and yeasty, with red apples lined with some citrus notes and a touch of flint. The palate was round and rich, clearly from a warmer vintage, with some fine frothy mousse swirling around sweet red apple and ripe lemon flavors with a vert slightly oxidative edge. Not the most complex maybe, not the most sublte, but this was very generous, very open and round. A friendly, forward Champagne to drink now, yet with decent depth and a sufficient amount of interest to hold the palate. I especially liked the finish - long, powerful, with fleshy white fruit pricks by little bits of spice and flinty mineral.

  Like other Charlemagne's I have tasted the yeasts are very much up-front and powerful. This is however very nicely balanced with lemon/lime notes and all in all I must say I am no less of a Charlemagne fan after drinking this. Have not "officially" scored it since it was tasted outside and I didn't make notes, but should I score it I suspect I would end up around 89-90.

  Ny årgång av Mesnillésime . Första provet var från en öppnad flaska och det fick vi hälla ut. Säger nog en del om lagringstiden på det här vinet. Andra glaset var som flytande smör, krämig, frisk med fin mousse. Vinet är kanske en av de bättre 03 jag druckit och visar på att även denna årgång kan producera bra viner. Inget att lagra utan ett vin som dricker nu. Betydligt mer tillgänglig än 02an. Ett riktigt sommarvin

  Les Mesnil Masterclass (St-Regis Hotel): This too has very similar aromatic character to the 2002 but this is lighter and not as deep and powerful. Well-balance with good transparency to the flavor with relatively lower complexity and depth compared to the 2002 with juicy, persistent finish. That's being said, this too is very good and for the mid term while waiting for the big brother to get ready. Buy - No.
