Champagne

This is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay.  R.D. means recently disgorged (October 2013).  Deep golden in color, clear and bright with a nice mousse of tiny bubbles.  The nose is big with toast, orange citrus and slight nutty notes.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is deep and complex with flavors of toast/char, peach, and slight citrus.  Very long finish.  This is drinking young, even at age 23.  It should easily go another 15 years.  Great on its own, it will go with just about any food. A bowl of Popcorn would be perfect.  

This is a blend of 20% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier, and 50% Pinot Noir.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  A nice mouse with a steady stream of tiny bubbles.  The nose is nice with apples, slight apple cider, and slight peach.  Medium to full bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is clean with red apples and slight minerality.  Long finish.  The Lot number was L230588 3125.  This is drinking well and should be consumed over the next few years.  It is lovely on its own but should go with virtually everything from popcorn to Prime Rib.  A great value in Champagne.
