Canard Duchene - again

So you'll know by now that we like to worship at the temple of Champange, and no time seems more fitting than the beginning of the weekend.

Majestic have before supplied us with this vintage lovely at a price that makes it not too extravagant to have proper fizz on a Friday. The Yorkshire lass and I bumped into some friends visiting the Huddersfield Food and Drink Festival, and we enjoyed a couple of pints with them, before heading up the hill to cook tonight's paella, and open this bottle as a treat.

I've written before about the VFM of this wine, and nothing has changed in the interim. There's sweetness to make it aperitif-tastic, and it really gets the palate going. We're about to eat, so I'll sign off with a big thumbs up. Auzells in the fridge for afters. :)
