[TN] Two sparklers
On Saturday, our dinner started with a bottle of a recently purchased
Champagne: NV Larmandier-Bernier Blanc de Blancs 'Vertus' ($42) nose: mildly yeasty, lemons palate: creamy, citrus, crisp, leesy Really nice stuff with a great balance of acidity with fruit and yeast autolysis flavors. Tonight, a friend was in town, so with some Thai food we opened: NV Foreau Vouvray Brut (L2011) ($24) nose: grapefruit rind, herbs palate: light mousse, crisp, balanced, citrus, green apples Classic Chenin notes to me, even if I can't find the words to describe them. Although officially NV, the lot number designates it as a 2001 single vintage wine. The more I taste sparkling Chenin, the more I like it. Great stuff!
