I will also confess that I lack a very refined palette when it comes to wine. All I'll say is that it was good. Flying Machine seems familiar with it though, if he wants to provide any input.

Champagne Castelnau Réserve NV France

12.5% alcohol
40% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier, one-fifth reserve wines. 8 g/litre dosage. This is unusual for a wine at this price in that it has been aged for six years on its lees. It’s fine and toasty with nice freshness. Citrussy and taut with some bready notes, and faint hints of cheese and fine herbs, as well as a hint of apricot and some almond nuttiness. Lovely intensity here: it’s rich but not too rich. 91/100
