We had to wait for the big hit of sulphuric flatulence to blow off, but this was a real charmer once it did. The bubbles seemed a bit tired, but the wine itself was drinking young and fresh. Well balanced Meyer lemon and fresh bread on nose and palette.

Harry Karris and co at Againn (Againn, Washington DC): Bright but rounded fruit with nice notes of brioche. Effervescent and evocative but well balanced and structured for positive evolution. A real gem of grower fizz. Thanks Dan K for finding these.

Chateauneuf-du-Pape Dinner with Harry Karis (Againn, Washington DC): Zesty nose of yeast, citrus and slate. Palate is quite supple, polished, and modern. Citrus notes of limes and limes abound with a touch of creamy white peach towards the finish. A modern styled 2002 champagne, but incredibly tasty.

French Wine Tasting in Lavandou Restaurant, Washington D.C. (Lavandou Restaurant, Washington D.C.): A mix of all three Champagne grapes, this has an initially sweeter nose but also a bit more focus on the palate. Certainly more youthful as well, with more fruit as well as tell-tale chalk. Not the deepest Champagne I have had, but very enjoyable. When I tried it again at the end of the dinner, it was very refreshing, but that’s coming after a bunch of reds and their tannins, so it came off more welcoming. WOTF, but close.
