Wednesday was date night, but we had a pretty crazy week this week, so we decided to stay home, chill out, and cook a simple meal - cornflaked chicken, cheesy rice with broccoli, and some grilled asparagus. To make the evening a bit more special, we opened the bottle of G. Tribaut Millesime 2002 that I got from the Champagne Warehouse.
The champagne is a 50/50 blend of chardonnay and pinot noir. It had the surprising (in a good way!) aroma of chocolate when we first poured it. The flavour was incredibly rich, with lots of prune taste, but with enough acidity to make it a very clean champagne. While I really enjoyed how it smelled and tasted, this champagne just doesn't have enough bubbles for me, the last third of each glass was completely flat. Very disappointing for what could otherwise have become a favourite of mine.
