WTN: Fleuron-de-lis

• 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.

Nice. Where is this vacation? Getting kind of hot in Nyc, so the idea of a presumably-coastal vacation, with fresh sea air, lobster, and BdB Champagne, all sounds pretty nice!

Cape Cod. We are staying in Chatham.

Sounds coastal indeed. Enjoy!

Earlier today, I cycled through Chatham Square in Manhattan's Chinatown. Very different vibe from what you're getting!

Probably fewer lobster rolls!
