Pale yellow color. Delicate white blossom and mineral (iodine) nose. Quite linear champagne, almost flinty on the palate, some citrus notes and a lingering saline finish. Pair with sashimi. WHO: Paul Goerg WHAT: Champagne WHERE: Vertus, Champagne, France WHEN: NV disgorged in 2011 HOW MUCH: around $50 (media sample)
