La Closerie Les Béguines Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier
Champagne, France
I thought it edged out the LC19 on this occasion. The LC20 was just more expressive at this stage - more lifted with clearer fruit and floral characters, while similarly taut and chalky. Having said that, the differences were clearly marginal. So much so that by the end of lunch, the LC19 and LC20 were practically indistinguishable. Truly great bones here. A lovely reminder that great producers nail it year in, year out.
