A French doctor was going to a Manila conference via Hong Kong (a conference that I also attended) and our group arranged a dinner to meet up with some local doctors at dinner. This bottle is what he brought to dinner, a champagne from a small grower which he tasted and liked, and kept buying for his own consumption. Now that can only be something special. In fact I could not find anything on the Internet about the grower, except listings on the websites for buyers.
I understand from Dr Blin that it is a champagne made with the ordinary cepage. The wine was a nice golden yellow with good streams of fine bubbles. There was a fruity slightly pruney nose with hints of bamboo shoot. There was a good acid prickle on entry, dying down to a nice mousse, revealing sweet slight acid palate with fruity and nutty notes, well supported by a acid backbone.
