NV Bossard-Thuaud Vin Mousseux de Qualit
Not bad. More or less clean and straightforward sparkly if thats what you want. Although there was a slight nutty funky note that caused some discord in my sensitive palate, but nothing that would disturb large groups drinking large quantities.
NV Bouchard Inflorescence Champagne
Slightly toasty but mostly lemony, fresh, and bright with silky minerally edges. I understand this is the entry-level wine so I wasnt expecting too much elegance but there was enough to keep me satisfied. YMMV. That said, clearly not where one goes for QPR. Also, I understand these are single-vintage wines but there was no indication of the vintage that I could find on the bottle. So this note is probably useless for those who may have other bottles.
1998 Louis Jadot Beaune Clos des Ursules
Resolved and pretty in the soft faded no-edges kind of way. So I can enjoy a glass or two with dinner. But this is also slightly metallic and Im thinking it was damaged at some point because other folks tell me this wine should not be showing this old.
2008 Domaine Ppire Muscadet
Nice and lively as you know. Although this time I couldnt shake the feeling that I should have opened the 08 Briords.
2006 Michel Tte Julinas Domaine du Clos du Fief Cuve Prestige
Some nice flesh here although overall pretty crisp, structured, and not as giving/fun loving as I had been led to believe. Good material but probably needed more time to loosen up than I had to give it (2 hours).
