It has minimal, pleasant tannins that provide some grip, generous notes of ripeness and toastiness, and is always fresh and vibrant.Moritz FEB24: The nose emits a warm spice accompanied by dark berry fruits and a hint of red apple. On the palate, the champagne shows its backbone. The acidity is powerful yet does not lose its elegance. A fine spice and tart red apple also dominate the taste, indicative of a perfectly managed use of wood. The endlessly long finish leaves beautiful mature flavors on the palate. A great companion to food.Nicola FEB24: Very aromatic, rich in extract, herbal, minimal sherry aftertaste, biodynamic touch, a slightly wilder release than in previous years.Moritz OKT22: Fresh, spicy and with a skilful use of wood, the bar is set extremely high with this ‘entry-level’ champagne.

Vauversin Aubeline - Bio
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 7g/l 2 years of bottle maturity 40% reserve wines vinified in oak Named after the grandmother of Laurent, that's why the dosage is a bit higher as this was en vogue these days. All champagnes have been vinified with indigenous yeasts and with no filtration. They are low in sulfite (less than 35mg/l) Riddling by hand . Tasting: Named after Laurent's grandmother, therefore it is slightly higher dosed, as this was so popular in the past. But it looks anything but sweet, but extremely charming, clean, clear, playful, floral, a little fruity, beautiful!

Great complexity with yeast, brioche and wood notes. Citrus fruits again on the palate, fine bubbles, fresh and mineral. Intense and long finish. A multi-layered and intense champagne with drinking flow. One of my favourites! Lukas FEB23: In the nose initially a bit closed up, needs air and then shows floral-herbal and complex warm spicy notes. In the mouth very full-bodied and complex, primarily ripe apple and fine spiciness, backed by a nicely integrated acidity and a very long finish. Needs air to show its full potential but then opens up beautifully.

100% ChardonnayDosage 1g/lChardonnay from Hautvillers (Premier Cru)Matured in wooden barrels for 1 yearBottle ageing: 5 yearsNo fining, no filtration, minimal addition of sulphurNicola Oct25: Base 18: somewhat fresher, creamier, and softer than the Fondamenteaux, the aromas unfold beautifully, fan out, and then melt in the mouth into a wonderful moment of well-being. Subtle bitter notes in the finish add sophistication and further character.Nicola FEB24: A very strong release, vibrant, fresh, dynamic, lively, captivating, aromatic elegance.Moritz FEB24: An incredibly complex Chardonnay! The nose is voluminous yet delicate. Aromas of white chocolate & caramelized butter are underscored by a fresh, fine etherial quality. The palate is much fresher than the nose suggests. Mint and lemongrass are accompanied by almond blossom and a fine light spice. The round body fills the entire mouth, while the firm acidity provides the necessary backbone. The finish is endlessly long, leaving a taste of wet stones. A play of aromas that leaves nothing to be desired. The champagne benefits from being allowed to breathe a bit.Moritz OKT22: The Eternel Optimisme is by no means a lean, taut Blanc de Blanc. Even the nose promises body. Buttery aromas complemented by a light caraway spice, orange zest and a light green herbaceousness make the wine incredibly complex and interesting. The flavour profile continues on the palate and is rounded off by a very long finish.
