henriot rep with bernie lee glazers

Henriot Blanc de Blanc Nv  clean and acidic.. light yeast.. clean and acidic... a really good food champagne

Bouchard wines
quick guide from the rep.  2011 ample vintage to enjoy while waiting for the 10 to mature.
2012 down in volume but good concentration of fruit
2013 lots of hail at bud break..late harvest.. hard vintage

William Fevre 2011 Champs Royaux...very metalic on the front that does round out a little on the finish.. a beginners Chablis..to get used to the idea of chard not being a fruit bomb

Bouchard Chardonnay 2012... mostly neutral oak.. pleasant

Beaune de Chateau 2009. white.. surprisingly tropical fruit.. with a light toasty oak finish.. would almost have thought this central coast

Bouchard Pinot Noir 2011  light in color and texture.. a good beginner for french pinot noir ( notice that they are dumbing down the label for the American consumer)......

Beaune de Chateau red 2009.. best wine of the day meaty, dark fruit.. silky tannins. long dry finish.. interesting in that it is a blend of different Premier Cru lots instead of just being one specific site from the Beaune
