  • 2016 Chartogne-Taillet Champagne Extra Brut Les Couarres - France, Champagne (2/28/2026)
    November 2020 disgorgement.

    Opened to pair with aged Gouda gougeres, and it was on point. Showed a little severe on its own at first, but it was more expressive after 30 minutes, and totally blossomed with the gougeres, as it showed more fruit, more mid-palate depth, and then a vibrant, lemon zest finish. Delicious now, and I wish I had more.

Thanks for the note. I actually own a couple of these. First tried one three years ago and went on a hunt for more.

Yes, thanks for this, David. I’ve heretofore had very little from the producer, glad it was open for business.
