  I am working on updating inventory. This note is being written after the fact. This bottle was shared by J. Z. at a central jersey ct group off-line tasting held at Peking Duckhouse (midtown location). I cannot recall any other details. I have a vague recollection of the wine being slightly oxidized. Possible problem with provenance?

  No detailed notes taken due to Dinner circumstances, but great yeast, citrus, mineral flavors on this one.

  Mid-palate; the body/acidity of this wine are impressive; lemon zest/lemon blossom, orange zest/orange blossom,apricot, buttered wheat toast, saffron, pumpernickle notes
  Finish; lemon/petrol/orange blossom/orange zest/apricots, flashes of bitter red/green apples, buttered wheat toast, saffron, pumpernickle/jewish rye - a really snappy, zesty finish.
  I think this could be one of the best champagnes for the dollar/pricetag.Chartogne-Taillet planted to 12 hectares.6,700 cases produced. Chalk-sandstone soil. Estate is 50% PN/40% Chard/10% PM

  Pretty good but not as nice as I remembered. Nice biscuit to the nose but not a particularly good finish.
