Monts Damnes and Grande Cote 2007. If you have to drink them now, the Grande Cote is showing better, fresher and more forward. Monts Damnes still sulking after 12 hours of air, unfortunately. However, it's the blend that is really delicious - ripe, round nose and entry, followed through with a real wallop of acid, and plenty of incipient complexity on the finish. Is it worth opening two bottles at once? On the evidence of the last few glasses, yes.

had a wonderful 2000 Grande Cote two nights ago; unfortunately, there wasn't an MD around to blend with, so I can't report anything sensible

Just tried the 07 Francois Cotat "Culs de Beaujeu" and it was open and singing. Rich and broad with lots of lemon and waxy notes. Nice.
See you in 10 years.

We didn't have any MD for the '89, either.originally posted by .sasha:

didn't need one, it was already a magnum
I'm leaving the rest of my bottles alone. I did have a pretty good heavy rose with leftovers (MD + GC) dosed with V et S Saignee, though - just the right amount of bubbles. Said V et S Saignee also freshened up some '97 Jaboulet Thalabert. I'm starting to come round to the view that hipster champagne is like soy sauce in cooking - a little goes a long way.
