Christmas Morning

The very first gift that I opened on Christmas morning was waiting for me in the fridge - a bottle of Krug Clos du Mesnil 1990 (thank you!!). What a wonderful way to start Christmas day!! We popped the cork and sipped it while we opened the rest of our gifts. It remains one of my favourite champagnes, with flavours of nougat and toasted, buttered bread (perfect for breakfast!). It also had a fantastic amount of bubbles, which almost made me forget that this champagne is 20 years old. Surprisingly for me, it was the only champagne we drank on Christmas, but it's so good that it's hard to follow with anything else.
