- NV Chartogne-Taillet Champagne Cuvée Sainte Anne - France, Champagne (12/31/2021)
June 2018 disgorgement from “mostly 2015” per the back label, this showed none of the grassy character that shows in some 2015-based Champagnes. It was precise, maybe a touch too linear, but still with good depth as it reached the mid-palate. With our very rich Crab Imperial main course the precision of the wine was an asset, cutting through the richness of the dish. Good value from a fine grower who is a house favorite.
Don’t lose your head!
