The latest Maison Lenique offering from 3-D Wines arrived at my house late last week - the 2005 grand cru blanc de blancs. It had been brought to my attention that this champagne recently won a bronze medal at the International Wine Competition, so I was keen to quickly put a bottle in the fridge!
We opened it last night as we ate our dinner of grilled chicken, asparagus, corn, and rice. It was wonderful, lots of clean citrus flavours with no bitterness. The finish has a touch of vanilla that just makes you want to drink more. It was a fantastic accompaniment to our light meal, and a very easy drinker. This champagne is exactly what I've come to expect from Maison Lenique, lots of flavour, never-ending bubbles, and no regrets except for the empty bottle when you've finished. I'm so glad to have new stock of this maker back in the house, as I've missed it!
