Few days back D and i , with the recommendation of Irene tried an interesting champagne, a boutique champagne i would say :
Champagne Penet-Chardonnet, Grand Reserve NV
Search on the internet:
" Penet-Chardonnet is an independent, traditional Champagne house that produces wines from exclusively Grand Cru vineyards. After 400 years of supplying the French market, current owner Alexandre Penet has crossed the Channel to enter the UK market for the first time..."
"This is a 'zero dosage' wine, aged seven years on the lees and including 15% of reserve wine that had been kept in barrels. It has a bold lemon yellow colour and small bubbles that disippate quite quickly. On the nose, a big, bold rush of sour apple and nettle fruit with plenty of citrus too. On the palate this wine is racy and crisp, the mousse like little pin pricks on the tongue rather than anything creamier, and the fruit as clean as a whistle, the crunchy green apple and lemon pith character streaking through to finish"
I totally agree on the discription, a very interesting , clean , crisp champagne. too bad the bubbles dissapear quickly; have to drink fast as after 20-30 minutes ( esp in Asian temp) the bubbles totaly gone.
Superb for a boutique chmapagne.
