La Grande Dame Brut Champagne Blend 1990

Quite young looking lemon , just a hint of gold . very fine bubbles , that dissipate quiet quickly in a white wine glass . Lots of roasted nuts , toasted bread , caramel , and a oyster shell , caramelised lemon peel , saffron , lemongrass and a hint of curry . On the palate this has more of the caramel notes , with saffron , some lemon, mineral a quite tight , slightly astringent acidity and mineral finish. Not overly intense but quite good length , with mineral , oyster shell , toasty , brioche finish . This is fully mature and is at peak in magnum , drink now and over the next 5 -10 years . Disgorged March 2020 — a month ago

Brut Rosé Vertus Champagne Blend

A pretty pink salmon color with moderately energetic bubbles and creaminess. The bouquet is so pretty and precise with yuzu and vivacious strawberries. There’s so much juicy fruit going on here and it never stops. Raspberry tarts and warm cherry pie with a dose of dried herbs. A nice bit of earth and sage for good measure.

A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from three consecutive vintages along with 30% reserve wines. It’s a splendid rosé from Vertus with racy acidity and nice structure throughout. The palate is very expressive with lively red berries and savory notes. A very well made champagne that’s easy drinking and just a pure pleasure.

Happy Heavenly Anniversary, Sofia. ❤️

We enjoyed a number of Launois over the years entertaining & celebrating. We even visited the property in 2005, I think 05. They have an amazing wine/champagne museum with all sorts of artifacts. Maybe, one of the best. It is extensive & large.

Sofia also loved clouds and photographed them often.

Rich pink color.
Has nice flavors of strawberry and grapefruit, however is not sweet. Is more of a medium dry that finishes smoothly.

Yellow Label Brut Champagne Blend

Pale gold with fine bubbles. Blossom, apple, pear, tangerine, lemon, brioche, and toasted almond. Dry, medium body. Well-balanced acidity with a crisp, medium-plus finish. You can find this stuff almost anywhere these days. But I must say, I still like it.

Sofia loved Penguins. We played w/ them in Dubai and she also skied indoor while I had a spot of Champagne and watched from a very big window. Only in Dubai. They have to build things of that nature…cus w/o them…just a bunch of sand.

Got this at least 5yrs ago. Age served this well. Gold color. Brioche with a toasty finish. Lost some acidity and zip, but easy drinking. — 4 years ago
