Laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll)!

Day #293 of the year.
Champagne, France
40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 25% Pinot Meunier
Golden with shimmers of green coating the constant stream of fine, delicate bubbles. Fine and delicate nose which combines white blossom and a certain minerality with general overtones of Anjou, light pear and golden raisins. Subtle hints of anise seed and smoky flavors follow this suggestion of fruit. The taste is vibrant, with a combination of lemon and saltiness. This is immediately followed by a sensation of complex, yet mellow freshness creating the perfect balance between ripeness and a full-rounded flavor. It is rounded off by a long-lasting, crisp finish with hints of salted butter.
Pairs very well with shellfish and fish.
