Inflorescence Blanc de Noirs Champagne
Not for some time in recent memory have I tasted a champagne with such wine qualities, that if I allowed my self to drift a bit, feel as if I am experiencing world class white burgundy. Light straw color in the glass, with fewer bubbles than in normal Champagne. You are treated to hints of chalk and citrus, minerality, all the while expressing a full-bodied, elegant wine. This bottle is pure finesse and reservedly concentrated, making it as versatile a food wine as you could ever come across.
It is non-vintage, but Mr. Bouchard only crafts his champagne from same year, in effect making this bottling a 2005.Try this with oysters or fried chicken.
ROOSTER SCORE: 94
