Andre Clouet Champagne Vintage 2009 versus Dream Vintage 2005 Grand Cru
The heads on clash between Dream Vintage 2005 Grand Cru against Dream Vintage 2006 on 8-Sep-23 made me stage another clash tonight, fielding the past winner Dream Vintage 2005 Grand Cru versus Vintage 2009 which was made of 100% Pinot Noir. The Dream Vintage 2005 Grand Cru was made of 100% Chardonnay. It may not be a fair comparison, nonetheless, still a worthwhile fight coming from a completely different camp. The outcome was bold and stunning, this time round, the Grand Cru had to give in to the Pinot Noir champagne, and I had to boldly declare the 2009 as the winner of the competition. It was hard to find the winner when I started tasting both champagnes, as both were very similar in characters; soft, elegant and feminine. However, all it took was 45 mins of drinking session for me to realize what has evolved, the 2009 vintage has a lot more impact in taste, more complexity and bolder in terms of style. It’s probably due to the overly hot weather in 2009 that created the more intense and bold style of 2009 vintage.
