Autumnal

Nope, not the weather, but the champagne we drank last night - Roger Legros Millesime 2002, a chardonnay/pinot noir mix which I bought from the Champagne Warehouse. This was such a nice champagne!It smelled like the perfect autumn day in an orchard, with fallen apples and fresh-cut hay, a slightly oxidised aroma, but in the way that a good sweet wine smells. There was no sweetness to this wine though, just lots of rich apple with some biscuit on the finish. The bubbles were excellent, too. I was very surprised to see this priced at less than £30 on the Champagne Warehouse website, it was a lot of quality for a very reasonable price!!
