(100 % chardonnay)
25 januari 2015 (hemma)
Doft:
Parfymerad, fruktig och utvecklad. Inslag av bröd, persika, aprikos, mineral
och en aning krut.
Smak:
Torr, fruktig och något utvecklad smak av persika, aprikos, mineral, marsipan
och persikokärna. Medellång, torr eftersmak.
Kommentar: Ännu en riktigt bra champagne från Laherte! Det här är en blanc de
blancs baserad på chardonnay från en odling i Côte de Blancs. Den består till
70 % av senaste skörden (gissningsvis 2009 i den här flaskan) kompletterat med
30 % reservviner. Dosage på 7-8 g/l. Degorgerad i november 2012. Flaskan köpt
på Le Moine Vigneron i Épernay.
Den känns först lite
oförlöst, men öppnar upp sig efter ett par timmar! Och dagen efter är den en
riktigt trevlig upplevelse!

What a cool blog you have! I stumbled upon it while looking for information on Les Grappes Dorées, which I'm about to pop this evening. I enjoyed the Grand Cru BdB from them quite a lot a couple of weeks ago. It's funny how after being forced to study Swedish for 10+ years I usually find it almost appalling to read Swedish writing but your blog is certainly an exception to that rule :)
SvaraRaderaThank you! :)
RaderaLaherte is truly a great producer! I am sure you will have a wonderful evening - just make sure to open the bottle a few hours before drinking!
Thanks for the tip! I normally pretty much never do that even though it's been countless times that a Champagne has improved greatly over dinner and even over night. If I may ask for another tip, I will be going to Épernay for the second time next month and have not decided on where to dine. Last time we chose La Table Kobus where the food was quite decent but mainly it was their BYOB policy that made the overall deal great. This time it is Saturday and if I have understood correctly the BYOB is not offered then. Any recommendations for a good value restaurant, preferably something a bit more affordable than Les Berceaux?
RaderaI think Les Berseaux's sister restaurant (or "bakficka" as we say in Swedish) Bistro le 7 is a much nicer, and definitely much more affordable, restaurant than Les Berseaux! Otherwise La Fine Bulle on Rue Gambetta is a decent restaurant too.
RaderaActually we did dine also at Bistrot le 7 during our last visit and thought it was quite nice even if the food was as simplistic as it gets. I think it was quite shortly after splitting the 6 Champagne tasting set at C-Comme so naturally we were feeling quite jolly :) Perhaps we're gonna try La Fine Bulle or La Grillade Gourmande this time around. Thanks again.
RaderaHave a nice trip!
RaderaThanks!
