We decided to have some champagne last night since it was date night, but with two cold bottles in the fridge, it was a tough choice. Since my husband said he would only drink the Maison Lenique 2005 with me since he considers it to be mine (he gave it to me as a gift), we decided to open that. It was wonderful - rich and fruity, and so bubbly that I got drenched when I opened it. It was so more-ish that when we finished the bottle, it just didn't seem like enough.
We're so greedy that we opened the other cold bottle of Billecart-Salmon brut reserve. We didn't finish it, just one glass each, which really hit the spot. It was interesting to compare the two champagnes this closely. The Billecart-Salmon was lighter and fresher than the Maison Lenique, but more complex and with a much longer finish. They both have spectacular bubbles, which is why they're always on my list of favourites!!
