If one is lucky enough to have friends who just happen to bring over a bottle of very respectable Champagne for no particular reason other than its saturday, that is a very good thing. But when one’s friends sail over that bar, and bring said Champagne on a bed of ice… damn. I could still remember the simple, crisp taste of the Veuve de Vernay when we opened this, and wow is this a whole new world of complexity. Apparently this is a lighter-bodied Champagne. Word. I would definitely seek this out. Dunno what the “Grand” implies in “Grand Brut”. I think the dosage is the same as a Brut.

I’m having nostalgia for the days when I couldn’t tell Chateau Margaux from Mouton Cadet. With Champagne and its less famous, non-regionally branded comrades, “hhiigh hhknow hhnu-theeng”. Except, that this bottle was light, tasty and worth going back for seconds. I need a crash course in bubbly before I open the bottle of vintage ‘98 Billecart-Salmon we received as a gift! Off to a good start.
scored: - (no basis for score, but I’d buy it again)
