A while back, a customer invited me to his house for lunch and I was surprised to be drinking '82 Leoville Poyferre for the first time along with 19th century Madeira. These moments of generosity are defiantely my favourite wine experiences!!D Marrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969743696233465420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35133966.post-61387829426485025152009-01-27T04:36:00.000+01:002009-01-27T04:36:00.000+01:00Hi Sharon,being skewed to Champagne is a good thin...Hi Sharon,<BR/>being skewed to Champagne is a good thing :-) <BR/><BR/>Normally we stay in Epernay or Reims but this year we thought we would try somewhere different so that is why we decided to stay in Aube.<BR/><BR/>They are rated pretty highly by Tom Stevenson from Decanter.<BR/>This is what he has to say:<BR/>The Mathieus have been growers in the Aube since at least 1760 but it was not until 1970 that the first Champagne was bottled under the family name by Serge Mathieu, who created the 'Billecart Salmon of grower Champagnes'. His daughter Isabelle and her husband Michel-Jacob now run the business but Serge still works in the cellars. There are 11ha of picture-perfect vines and a superbly equipped winery. Malolactic is carried out with great delicacy, endowing these supremely elegant Champagnes with a creamy richness.

Two nights in Aube (visiting Champagne Serge Mathieu) and one night in Paris and then off to Italy. Should be a great trip, only tricky part is travelling on a plane with an 18 month old (who I must say has already discovered the virtues of Champagne :-))<BR/><BR/>Maybe you should change your blog to Champagne Princess :-)Anthony D'Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13143483178707399880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35133966.post-39762229004163170032009-01-24T06:17:00.000+01:002009-01-24T06:17:00.000+01:00When will it be published or, more impertinently, ...When will it be published or, more impertinently, how is the research going ???<BR/><BR/>So many blogs that should be read and so little time to do it !!! <BR/><BR/>I’ve decided to give yours a try after discovering that you have beautiful feet (blame Brad Kane for this – the man has an eye for great pictures) and that you love Thierry Allemand’s wines.<BR/><BR/>The man is a genius ! Have you tried his Cuvée Sans Soufre 2004 ?<BR/>Awfully expensive in Québec, but to die for.
