The last two days we traveled through Chablis to Champagne. We were given some fine sparklers and Champagne.
I will have more posts describing each one in later posts.
Let me just say though. Put aside what you think about Champagne. This is not Moet, Veuve, Bollinger or Dom. These are grand cru, the best of the best.
The wines of the Boisset family. Jean Claude Boisset leads this large business producing more wine than anyone else in Burgundy. Pierre Vincent the winemaker ans a legend amongst wine makers gave us the tour through the Voygeraie winery.
I must confess that the Louis Bouillot brut rose is my wifes absolute favorite, and everyone I share this with also put it in the repertoire.
Lanson, the favorite of French premiers and Kennedys. Tzarine with bubbles so light and beautiful.
The wines of Georges Vesselle. A family operated winery producing some of the best champagnes in the wine world. The whole family works in the winery. Bruno Vesselle and his family gave us a food pairing in the early morning. What a way to start a day, food and champagne. Even the youngest son, all of 12 I would say, was sampling, tasting and taking into account our reactions. The Perfection Rose is a must have.
Champagne #Mailly. Well what can I say. This is the most beautiful, elegant and best champagne you will ever have period. The winery is a coop between 80 growers producing best wines ever to cross your lips. Large conglomerates continue to try and buy their juice but they keep it for their own wines. We were treated to a disgorging of a 96 brut and tasting. WONDERFUL
The " Delice" is an exceptional offering as is L Intemporelle. An elegant soft sultry champagne BEAUTIFUL.
