Paul Georg Champagne Premier Cru Brut Millésimé

Friday Night Brown Bagger (J&J's) : Medium mousse with a lingering bead. Rich and slightly toasty with abundant orchard fruit underneath. Delightful, and in a terrific spot right now. (J2)

The 80%+ Chardonnay shows in this wine, as it isn't as complex as other 2004s opened next to it. A slightly yeasty/bread dough quality. Very fine mousse. I don't know if this will develop further, or if it has reached its peak. I have one more bottle hiding in the cellar somewhere, so I'll probably find that someday and then compare to these notes.

drank this around a fire with my big bro fore he passed. we both agreed it had buttered popcorn & smoke in there. It’s the closest I’ve ever come to feeling like a wine was truly ethereal; big bro was truly impressed. Miss you John, hope you remember our good times. Ain’t nobody I’d rather pop bottles with homie. Till next time. I love you forever bro.

Bright gold color. On the nose, lemongrass, lemon curd, fresh baked bread. On the palate, sweet ripe lemons. A little short and one note for me, but quite pleasant.

Honoring Burt Williams with some old Williams-Selyem (S.K.Y. restaurant, Pilsen, Chicago IL) : Nose: The nose is straightforward and balanced with peaches, lemon peels, limes, white florals, lemongrass, toast, herbs, and warm dough. There are good autolytics, but there is a slight under ripeness to it and it lacks some depth. Taste: The feel is medium bodied with tart, high acidity. There is a lighter touch to the feel along with lemon peels, lemongrass, herbs, limes, white florals, warm dough, …

Lovely citrus, pear and green apple nose with the slightest brioche. Fine mousse, light golden color in the glass. Mouth watering juicy citrus and stone fruit on the palate Clean finish. Delightful.

Loved it! Not too sweet, not bitter.

Great aged champagne! I'm glad I kept this one for a couple of years, but sad that this one was my last one... Fine bubbles, long finish, toasted bread/brioche, lemon zest, yeast and dry just the way I like them! I don't see what this champagne could benefit from more time in the cellar but I can see that it would last for a long time. I personally like them in there mid life stage of there life, so it …

Lots of yeast and toast, with citrus notes that aren't at all tart. Still very young, with a lot of years left. Excellent.

From a bottle. Elegant fine beads. Autolytic nose with plenty of toast. Medium (-) bodied. Plenty of toasty brioche on the palate with some maturing green fruits. Quite high acidity which appear to overwhelm the fruit after an hour. Moderate length.

Intense spicy, floral and fruity scents and offers fine and persistent bubbles. An amazing Champagne for the price.
