Not all chard's are made equally - Extended

As we continue down the path to self discovery of the wine palate level, it is becoming more apparent that my palate for chardonnay has gained a bias favoring French. This time around the step that has led down this direction was 2003 Pierre Peters Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Millésimé, which has been thus far the most expensive bottle I have opened. Though, the reason for opening this bottle was a collision of several events making for a wonderous occasion worthy of such. However, I digress.

In having drank this bottle, the path of wine is not all about tasting, the flavor profile had an initial standard chardonnay profile which has put me off but the evolution in which it had undertaken following is what truly shine through. It has shown that even though it was a 2003, it has still a long line and progression left to it to which will offer an experience that is greater than the value of the bottle. To this, I look forward.
