Henriot
Millésime Brut Champagne Blend
@Benjamin Keator had his hosting at the CC tonight and it was absolutely incredible. What a night of gorgeous wines! All wines are guessed blind.
My guess here was ‘04-06 French champagne. I couldn’t guess a house, but I was able to rule out what it wasn’t (PH, Dom, Krug). This wasn’t reductive enough to be west coast. Balanced sweetness and yeastiness well.

Rock solid effort. Served blind, I was tilting towards BdB about 10 years old. Way more elegant than my memory serves me.
