Champagne Tribaut-Schloesser

Champagne Tribaut-Schloesser tasting.
It was at China Live,  casual Chinese restaurant in San Francisco.

Most of their wines have low dosage (lower level of sweetness is added after disgorgement).

l'Authentique 2008

Friendly up front then complexity kicks in.
Very good wine. Even after bubbles disappeared, I could still enjoy as a wine.

We had these wines with Chinese food. Pairing was good even with strong spice like allspice.

Delicate bubble. Easy to enjoy and complexity to explore at the same time.
I have a sweet tooth but really enjoy the dryness of their wine.
Very good Champagne. I like bubbly wines overall but didn't have particular favorite. This may be it.
