Saturday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): From the Dégustation Secrète pack. Kind of a foursquare, nondescript wine, but drinks without very much mushroom (or other pinot) character leading me to think that this was likely one of the blanc de blancs wines -- of which I guessed that this was the 2008 (albeit a somewhat disappointing one).

My first bottle of the ‘secret Selecton’ mixed case and served blind. As a late release it’s had 12 years on the lease. It tasted very dry with a fine mousse but not much brioche and fairly one dimensional. High acidity. Green apple and citrus. Nice but not amazing - or perhaps more accurately not my preferred style.
