Unusually pronounced red-grape fragrances this time; the wine is usually marked by sauteed apples and butter, but this time it’s all braised beef, shiitakes and honey-mushroom; the palate starts to conform to type, silky and tangy and more apple now; as stylish and reliable as always. It’s a very good intro to grower Champaigne; its flavors are close enough to the mainstream but very few negoçiant Champagnes have this clarity, specificity and articulation. Essentially 50-50 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay "with the rest Meunier!" as Chartognes put it.<br /><b><br />Cheese Pairings</b>: Brie de Marze, French Camembert, Gruyere Comte<br /><br /><b>Food Pairings</b>: Caviar, Oysters, Sushi<br /></P>
