2000 vintage. Gorgeous, Quite Rich, medium to full bodied, lots of fresh lemon, citrus rind, honeysuckle, honey, "pain d'épices" and floral notes in every sniff and sip.

This soft, round, honeyed wine seemed kissed with botrytis. It had a dark straw color, a plush texture and plenty of length and detail. The wood was well integrated at this point and it did not seem overly heavy. Strangely enough, the scallop that was paired with it lightened the wine considerably. I think something with more acid would have paired better… But I am the Champagne guy!
