- 2017 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Champagne Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Fleuron - France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru (5/22/2024)
Vacation Champagne, and a fine accompaniment to our dinner of lobster rolls (butter version, not mayo). Not quite as severe as I was expecting given the reputation of the vintage, but it had more than sufficient acidity to cut through the butter, and also complement the lemon that we put on a few pieces of the lobster meat. There’s plenty of depth to support aging, though I really like where it is right now, at least with a lobster roll accompaniment.
