However, I think he in general has improved its quality with the now slightly lower dosage.<br /><br />I will post a note on Vilmart later and a very interesting Champagne I had yesterday (which Peter doesn’t even know about – or does he? ;-) ) <br /><br />Peter – thank you so much for your positive comment – means a lot to me.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092972086667650035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367424679032651122.post-64907270605651037172009-05-16T13:58:00.000+02:002009-05-16T13:58:00.000+02:00Hello Thomas,

Great nose of balanced perfumed dark red berries. The mousse was great and plenty of small bubbles to go around. I still have some left in the bottle and I will drink the rest tonight. Clearly a different wine than Selosse Rose and also a step above in quality in my opinion.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Dan<br /><br />PS: Have you used your champagne stoppers??

I remember tasting the 1996 Rosé at Anders’ 40-years at Luns….you where there also....you sat beside a totally babe (my wife)….remember ;-). Anyway the wine was nice too. Looking forward to hear about the 2003 – heard mixed things about it.<br /><br />I am drinking Champagne tonight – no doubt about that. Have visited a small wine shop @ Østerbro today (think you know it).….I mean why stare into 4 computers screens when you can take your bike, have some fresh air and visit good friends and drink wine. <br /><br />1998 Vilmart CdC tonight.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092972086667650035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367424679032651122.post-54626953783690565162009-05-15T12:20:00.000+02:002009-05-15T12:20:00.000+02:00alternatively 2004 Laherte Les Vignes d'Autrefois....alternatively 2004 Laherte Les Vignes d'Autrefois...Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367424679032651122.post-61711791726236420872009-05-15T11:32:00.000+02:002009-05-15T11:32:00.000+02:00It's from a big house so it is not for you ;-)

Significant differently profiles and fascinating stuff to taste. <br /><br />Yes I think you are right about the way he talked about the biodynamic approach. He knew that we where going to visit David Léclapart next and gave him thumbs up for his philosophy. I guess, as Olivier will gain more knowledge, he might also take more risk. But for now – I am also quiet happy with the outcome no matter what category he belongs in. <br /><br />So what is Mr. Posh - Dan-the-man-Samsøe drinking tonight? <br /><br />/ThomasThomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092972086667650035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367424679032651122.post-8374691806589352672009-05-15T10:55:00.000+02:002009-05-15T10:55:00.000+02:00Hi Thomas

Regarding the vins clair we tasted the new vintage from both oak & acacia. I'm no expert on tasting vins clair but they certainly had lot of character. <br /><br />On biodynamique I remember him saying that the wanted to pursue that course but he was worried about the humidity and mildew that can cause problems for the grapes in Champagne. I can't remember if he said that he wanted to go 100% bio like Leclapart or if he preferred a middle way. I personally don't care as long as the wine taste good :-)Dannoreply@blogger.com
