A premier cru blanc de blancs. Blanc de blancs means that it's pure chardonnay. Yum.
This bottle is one we got just over a year ago when we went up to Champagne for a week with our friend Cheryl. We had a good time tasting (that's a euphemism for drinking) many different Champagnes. This winery turned out to be one of my favorites. It's not as pricey as some Champagnes can be, and it's mighty good.
We're thinking of going back to get some more, or at least ordering some from the winery. We're on their mailing list now.
Yummy...Blanc de blancs just happens to be my favourite morning champers! You obviously had a great day despite your great age!

Happy Birthday for yesterday. It sounds like you had an excellent day :-)!
ReplyDeleteNothing says celebration like champagne.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't have to go very far away (alphabetically) to find this champagne.
bonne annee! hope it was a good one!
ReplyDeletePS - it's warmer where you are than where I am right now!
Congratulations! And many happy years!
ReplyDeleteMany happy ones for yesterday, Walt. Yes, at a certain age each b/day becomes an 'achievement'. I'm now starting to amaze myself having got even so far. However, we're not done yet - so, race you to 100? - and I don't mind at all if you 'win'!
ReplyDelete(And have a glug or three for me.)
Belated birthday wishes...
ReplyDeleteCheers!!!
Ivan
