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

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。

Magical. Concentrated white grape herbaceousness slight hint of vanilla and fantastic acidity. Comes back up your throat with a kiss that lingers and linger. Bravo Genevieve! — 10 years ago

This was Coravined on NYE and I could see the difference. Still nice but not as alive as the first sip. — 10 years ago

Might be a so so bottle, might be past it’s prime. My first ever “I don’t know Vatan.” It’s been open for 2.5 hours. Anyone else on 2006? We are going to find out cause plenty is left to taste later and we are into some other bottles... — 6 years ago

I don't drink dessert wines often, this one has inspired me to make Sauternes part of my regular diet. Rich and refined. — 7 years ago

This is my second time having Bevan's Drystack SB (though I often have the Addax SB, which is also unfiltered and made by Bevan). The nose on this is very typical SB to me...tropical peach, nectarine, floral. Maybe a bit of popcorn kernel (not buttery). But the palate on this is just always so freaking unique! I love the heavier texture of these unfiltered wines. The front of this is tropical, but it doesn't finish with a tropical or citrus crispness. It's more like a granite/stone finish. More "savory" than "sweet". Funky...but I always enjoy it, as does my wife! Not sure how Indie (left) and Abbie (right) feel though... — 8 years ago

Dried apricot, dried honey, hazelnut, amazing weight and texture. Definitely on a gentle decline. I would love to have tasted this 5-10 years ago. — 10 years ago

Crisp, clean and exact the right amount of acidity. Just what I want in SB. — 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

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. — 6 years ago

This gets fresher every time I taste it. I tried it today with Olivier Krug at the property, and it had puligny scale and the most pure and long Mesnil belemnita chalk finish one could ask for. — 8 years ago

Some say Sauternes have an awkward phase around the 5-10 year mark. I say nectar is nectar. Drink this sticky stuff with your mouth and enjoy! — 9 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
