N.V. Ruinart Champagne Brut Rosé -Sweet juicy strawberries, baked bread and just a hint of vanilla on the nose. Nice and crisp and refreshing on the palate with lemon, granite and a nice focused acidity balancing a tinge of sweet strawberry fruit on the palate. Very good champagne for the $$$.
2002 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault - Buttered popcorn, a little limestone and truffled earth on the nose. Very lushly textured palate with sweet fuji apples, pears, honey and a touch of cinammon all balanced with crisp limestone. A 45 second plus finish with mouth tingling acidity. Much more lush and sweet than I anticipated, but a pleasure to drink and went wonderfully with pan seared halibut.
