First of a few

I’ve been invited out for lunch, and we’ll be having some interesting wines.

Champagne Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Centenaire, Alfred Gratien

A nose of ripe lemon fruit and some oak. It smells very much like white Burgundy or Grand Cru Chablis. It has a pleasing minerality to the nose. This smells great. The palate has a lot of lemon fruit and some real acidity, but there is a roundness to it which is really pleasing. This is a great bottle of NV fizz.
