Sparkling White #Champagne #wine from France: 2000 #organic: http://tinyurl.com/3qjhotd

Wine name: Champagne Millésime 2000. Producer: Jacques Beaufort. Vintage: 2000. Purchased from ambonnay. Appearance pale-ish with lots of small, quite fast-moving bubbles with toasty aromatics. The attack is light and drier than i remember. Evolution: Very nice, with crispness which doesn't show the wine's age and that nice champagne yeastiness with a finish which is prickly. Sweetness: 0.5 with a texture which is petillant! As for balance, it's nicely balanced. The wine is 12% abv. Overall, this wine is: This is very nice and went well with smoked salmon, sausage rolls and smoked duck with croissants after church on Christmas morning. Can't quite give it a 90 as it wasn't quite interesting enough, but was, nonetheless, very nice. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 89 points.
