There are times, when I drink more and there are, naturally, times when I drink less. The last Champagne year wasn't as filled with Champagne as others were, but I was not dry.
This year, I also started using Riedel's Veritas Champagne glass which I had tested before and the results couldn't have made drinking Champagne more enjoyable.
There are few wines that I thought were exceptional, but one really stood out. Champagne Lallier Grand Rose Grand Cru. In a few words the aromas that just punched me when I first drank it were of pure strawberry and mint. An odd combination, but it worked.
I cannot ignore that I had another bottle of Pierre Peters Blanc des Blancs but because of my biased expectations on the day I drank it, I could not declare it as the Champagne of the year.
Although the day to celebrate this remarkable tipple is a few days behind, still, if you can, indulge in a bottle of Lallier!
Alone but never lonely!
Drink, think and believe Champagne.
