Bravo to Weston for hosting today! Great blind tasting. This champagne kicked things off perfectly with the typical green apple crisp, kiwi, and sweet tart finish. As you can see, we were treated to some great wines today!
I head out to Napa on Friday...this got my mind ready for the awesome few days ahead!

Magnificent bubbly, even on a Thursday night. This is the first time I've had Montaudon's '06, and it definitely shows the suppleness of the vintage - baked apple pie notes with caramel candy and a yeasty character to it. Figs, toffee, and a tinge of sour cherry on the palate. Despite the richness of fruit and texture, the wine retains a bright, mouth-puckering acidity. Exceptional balance and character, drinking well now and should be for years to come.

Wonderful yeasty brioche, but after 13 years (this was a 2006, and its 2019) there was a slight hint of sherry suggesting hat this has seen better days.

Love this. Yeasty, tiny bubbles, good solid acidity, and just beautiful. 2006 vintage!
