1er Cru Brut Champagne
Champagne, France
Gorgeous turn around since LBT. Pure, ripe, delicious orchard fruits, brioche, toasted nuts, and chalk. Still a savory/starchy underpinning but this has opened up a lot. 2/2015 disgorgement

Wonderful wine. Watching the balloons drift by in the Dordogne Valley while drinking it. Light yeast and great fruit. Gaston Chiquet 2005.
