Slightly mineraly & tart with a semi-dry green apple fruity finish. I probably am describing this completely wrong as I am no connoisseur so don’t listen to me, this is really only for my own personal reference. My new fav, it’s 🔥 — 6 years ago

In the name of science, a few champagnes/sparkling wines were sampled today in an effort to help a friend for comparative research reasons. Hard way to spend a Monday...

It hurt me to open this as I knew it would be painfully young...and it was 😔. But, in the name of science, it was analyzed! Most distinctive out of the lineup. Straight up cream soda mousse. Definitely oxidative in style but not channeling any of those sherry like notes. This carried ripe tropical fruits and a touch of honeycomb, versus the ‘13 I opened a few months back that was completely open for business with marzipan & roasted cashews. Hold this. — 7 years ago

Blanc the Noirs du Domaine Cédric Bouchard in the Aube area, named after a parcel of Pinot Noir planted in 1974. 1.5 hectare of organic vineyard in this lieu-dit called "Val Vilaine".
1st press juice only, hand harvested and crushed by foot, fermented using indigenous yeast. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aged for 16 months on the lees in stainless steel. Bottled with no dosage. Vintage 2013, dégorgement April 2015. A kind of marine freshness that slap gently on your nose. Certainly on the palate I would say: "perfect dosage" though, in fact there's no dosage at all but I didn't know yet. Wish to drink it down a full tank! — 9 years ago

I’ve run out of the wine that I brought with me so I headed to Total Wine (an essential business during the city shutdown) to replenish the stash. This was one of the buys. I visited Chappelet during Premier Napa Valley for the Pritchard Hill tasting. Really liked the high end lineup so I thought I would give this a try. Had with Fresco Cafe Italiano take away. — 6 years ago

Intense scents of grapefruit joined by florals. In the mouth perfectly ripe fruit mixed with saline and minerals. The wine’s most memorable feature was it’s long and lingering finish — 6 years ago

1979 Clos Du Mesnil. What do you do when you are confronted with a legendary wine? You hope it doesn’t disappoint. At Pages in Paris today, Tomo delighted us with this outstanding bottle. Medium golden hue. The nose was to die for: fresh, white flower, chalk and honeyed - alluring and forever changing in the glass while keeping its freshness. Hints of truffle wafted away within minutes. What seemed like an impossible dream of the ultimate Champagne remained intact. Fine but persistent bubbles, huge but balanced concentration with a refreshing, zesty acidity and a finish I can still taste an hour and a half after having drained the last few precious drops of this legend. Wow, wow, wow. Incredible. 100 points. Don’t be afraid to open now or in 20 years. — 7 years ago

Super in to it. Quite honestly when my vendor started blabbing on about bio-dynamic, organic blah blah I just tuned him out. It has a spicy greenness to it, almost vegetable character that is really appealing. It is very well balanced and just straight up complex in an a fun way. — 10 years ago

Compared to a 2008 Bollinger Grand Annee, the complexity here and overall mouthfeel outdid the Bolly. I was wondering what everyone was crowding around in the back room, but quickly figured it out. Pours to a light pale straw hue. Nose of creme brulee and cashew. Entry with small bubbles. Very oxidative style and does not care what you think about that! Does not have high acid. I was getting peaches and pears, with a nice oxidative bready creaminess with a rather smooth and long tiny bubble finish. Wow. Doing WELL. — 7 years ago

Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs

Opened a bottle of Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs for a special occasion. Though I normally stay away from Champagne (as it costs you some fortunes), this is certainly a solid choice on celebratory occasions. We enjoyed the bottle very much. I better keep a good distance from a world of Champagne.

エノテカさんのウェブサイトによると、「1729年、瓶内2次発酵の製法を確立し、初めてシャンパーニュを造り出した」造り手とされています。このブラン・ド・ブランは、「コート・デ・ブランの繊細なシャルドネに、
モンターニュ・ド・ランスの力強いシャルドネ」を加えているとのこと。

シャンパンの世界は嵌ると(散財して)大変なことになると言われており、普段はあまり近付かないようにしていますが、お祝い事があるとやはりシャンパンでお祝いということで今宵はRuinartを開けてみました。安定の美味しさで、ボトルも独特の形で受けがいいですね。奥深いシャンパンの世界、これからも適度な距離を保って付き合っていきたいと思います。

Had the petit the other night, so I was of course tempted to get the main show. 2003 was the oldest I had available so I went for it, and let me tell you.. if you have any in your cellar, I think they'll see another 5-10 years, but baby, the acid is perfect and the flavors are almost fully mature. A lovely intoxication of apricot jam, honey/molasses, decayed hydrangeas, and slight nuttiness on the nose. The pallet was lush and velvety, exhibiting notes of honey, orange blossom, dried apricots, dried pineapples, nutmeg, vanilla, and a bright, but not quite zippy finish. I need more of this..it was spectacular. — 8 years ago

Yet another splendid Sancerre! This one isn't as deeply marked by flinty flavor as I typically like, but it makes up for this with a terrific and balanced grapefruit/gooseberry core. The acidity of the citrus transitions to light minerality on the tail end, leading to a long-lasting and satisfying finish. — 10 years ago

Beautiful mildly lemony aroma. Fresh, with medium body so it felt too 'heavy' when I paired it with a pesto pasta. But fabulous with a cheese & ham quiche. — 11 years ago
