What bottle of wine did you open today? (Part 2)

Another weird day around here…

A friend came over for apéritif and she loves Chablis. I don’t think I had checked in on the 2022 vintage of this:


Louis Michel 1er Cru Fôrets 2022
Still tight but good underpinning. Mostly peach and rocks with a faint smoky undertone that would have thrown me off Louis Michel. It might be me though. We’ll see when I hit the next one.

And then, one of the weirdest meal and pairing I’ve had: Hot-dogs with crappy commercial sausages, cheap buns and home made aligot made with Tomme des Pyrénées:

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2012
The pairing made the sweetness more present in the Comtes and didn’t help it show well. It also brought out ginger notes. I wouldn’t do that pairing again but the bottle is empty so eh, t’was okay I guess!
