BYO bottle occasion, the wines were deposited at the restaurant several days prior.
A good contrast to see some top Chardonnay from different parts of the world.
A very hot day. The pre-work in dropping the wines off clearly allowed the wines to present themselves in top form, with all wines in good shape. Excellent range of glassware, lovely company and conversation. Subtle and delicate food which the wines matched well with.
2008 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut 96 Points
France, Champagne
Pale yellow. Everything about this wine is a display of balance and finesse. Energetic fine bubbles that burst delightfully in the mouth. Slight autolysis notes, green apple and lemon curd flavours, chalky and mineral, fine persistent acid spine, length for days, the thing that stands out is how none of the notes overpowers another - it's just seamless and harmonious.
