Everyone is relaxing in their own way and with their own drink.
Wine – De La Finca
Winery – Raventos. I Blanc
Vintage - 2014
FeedBack - Medium gold with amber tinges, very attractive colour. The nose is light but has distinct sour apple, white flowers, citrus peel and then on the end more distinct honeyed and yeasty notes and a nice minerality. The palate carries over far more of the yeasty and honeyed notes with faint citrus on the finish. Excellent fine mousse and fantastic acidity keeping it crisp and light. Excellent example of a cava style, not as honeyed and rich as a champagne but lovely in its own way, definitely recommend!

Wine – Rosé de Saignée Brut Champagne
Winery – Vollereaux
Vintage - 2008
FeedBack - The pick of the tastings for me and I’m not a fan of the pink stuff! 100% PN, 4yrs in cellar, same 9g sugar. Macerated on skins for 24-72 hrs. 👀clear, deep pink salmon, ultra inviting fine bubbles. Mouth waters just at the sight. 👃🏻light and clean, strawberries, raspberries, loganberry but refined and not overpowering. 👅dry, great complexity and interaction with acidity. Again not as powerful as expected but great structure and layers of strawberry and tangy raspberry. Lasting red fruit finish.Buy!

Wine – Special Club Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Chouilly'
Winery – Vazart-Coquart & Fils
Vintage - 2008
FeedBack – Start! (The Jam) Big Vazart-Coquart vertical #1 Lieven served us this 08 Special Club as a luxurious palate cleaner, before the serious bubbles were uncorked. The only bottle that wasn’t recently disgorged, as all the following ones were disgorged especially for us some months ago. This great and lively BdB had an inviting citrus-blossomy nose and a mouth full of fruit with layers of peaches, pear and candied lemon on toast, sprinkled with smoky chalk and evolving from very dry to nicely creamy. Great!

Wine – Eltviller Rheinberg Riesling Trocken
Winery – J.B. Becker
Vintage – N
FeedBack - Traditional Rheingau Riesling made by a man with a serious mustache, aged in big Fuder and released after proper aging at ridiculously low prices. This is a normal plot in central Rheingau but still delicious!! Nose: aged riesling petrol notes with seductive candied lemon, chamomille, Fuji apples, ripe apricots+superglue. Palate: ripe citrus, round pineapple, subdued minerality but still amazingly crisp+acidity. Ripe strawberries lead to warm pear, honey. Banana joins in for the long aftertaste.

Wine – Cuvée des Caudalies Brut Millesimé Champagne Grand Cru 'Avize'
Winery – De Sousa
Vintage – 2006
FeedBack - disgorged 2006. Started off as a completely diff style to the Clos de Goisses, oxidative and also almost sherry like aromas, pungent and powerful. On the palate is intense, but not as focus and refined. (3.5*). Only getting more focus with brighter fruits and salinity complexity toward the end of the dinner (4*). Could be not in Gd shape due to travelling. But I believe this will show better in normal condition & has the substance and balance (showing at the end) to get better.

Wine – Dizy-Terres Rouges Rosé Extra Brut Champagne
Winery – Jacquesson
Vintage – N
FeedBack - Rosé Champagne, with such a lucid and strong strawberry color puts it quite apart. Mineral and dry essence, can be identified from a mile away. It has a unique character, taste, color and feel, is really gorgeous. Strawberries are very present in mouth, the expression of the Pinot Noir is fantastic and quite powerful. Bubbles are so fine and enduring.. making this a very special treat.

Wine – Riesling Classic
Winery – Karl May
Vintage – 2017
FeedBack - Just enough crispness and minerality to cut through the heat in southeast Asian and Mexican dishes. Good enough on its own, but I would say it is excellent for pairing with spicy dishes. Solid value, too!
