Georges Laval Cumières Premier Cru Brut Nature L23 - Bio
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier Dosage: 0g/l vinified in oak for 8 months 18 months of bottle maturity Peter Liem: Laval releases his non-vintage champagne as both a brut and a brut nature: the brut usually has between four and five grams of sugar per liter, while the brut nature is, obviously, non-dosé. In the past, Georges Laval used to make this wine with one-third of each variety, but since 1992 the percentage of chardonnay has been increased, and today Vincent Laval's blends are normally made up of about half chardonnay, although the exact proportions can change according to the base year. In addition, the proportion of reserve wine can vary dramatically: some versions are actually made entirely from a single year, while others can incorporate small amounts of wine from previous years, as Laval sees fit. With Laval's meticulous selection and attention to detail, this is hardly an ordinary non-vintage brut, often showing a level of expression and complexity that can rival other producers' vintage champagnes, and it is also a wine that's well worth keeping in the cellar.

René Geoffroy Lieu-Dit "Les Houtrants complantés" Premier Cru Brut Nature
Pinot Noir, Meunier, Chardonnay, Arbane and Petit Meslier (Field Blend)Dosage 0g/lFrom the single vineyard Les Houtrants in CumièresAged in stainless steelBottle ageing: At least 4 yearsPerpetuum Reserve since 2008, aged under corkNicola MRZ26: Super exciting cuvée, highly aromatic and fresh at the same time, great presence, body, balanced, great creamy roasted notes, a hint of honey, character, strong!Tilman MRZ26: Layered, complex, fresh, each grape variety plays its part, vibrant, fascinating!Tilman AUG24: Rather reserved on the nose and dominated by white grape varieties, slightly floral, citrusy, a hint of grapefruit. Initially extremely fresh on the palate, almost sparkling, with striking acidity, but this quickly integrates into a more mature aroma, a hint of brioche, accompanied by increasing red fruitiness and spice. It has power and pushes across the palate, but in the end it nestles wonderfully and lingers for a long time. Wow! It will certainly be exciting to follow this over a longer period of time (both in the glass and in the bottle).

Larmandier-Bernier Terre de Vertus 2017 - Bio
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l No blending for this single-cru Champagne: Chardonnays only, coming from the vineyard plots of Les Barillers and Les Faucherets situated mid-slope in Vertus, facing south-east. One terroir only and one vintage only. Vinification and maturation: The natural alcoholic fermentation (natural yeast) and the malolactic fermentation begin spontaneously in our casks, our wooden vats and our stainless-steel tanks. The wines are left on their natural lees for nearly a year and undergo gentle bâtonnages, but no filtering or fining. If the year merits it, this cuvée will be bottled in July without any blend with other years - it is a vintage - or other terroirs - it is a single vineyard. Then the bottles are then taken down into the coolness of our cellars, where the second fermentation and the maturation 'on laths' quietly take place over a period of at least 5 years. Each bottle is disgorged manually 6 months before being marketed. This wine is non dosé (no sugar added), in order to respect its purity from beginning to end. Tasting notes - WineSpectator.com, December 7, 2017 - 91 points: Fresh and floral, this is well-cut and minerally, with finely meshed flavors of apple tarte Tatin, grated ginger, honeycomb and slivered almond. Rich, yet vibrant throughout. - Alison Napjus

Vouette & Sorbée Blanc d'Argile Brut Nature R20 - Bio
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l Peter Liem: In 2004, Gautherot began bottling a pure chardonnay called Blanc d’Argile, from the Biaunes vineyard. The vines here are young, having been planted in 2000, and unlike Vouette, which faces south, Biaunes has a western exposure, meaning that the grapes take a long time to ripen. Yields tend to be very low (a mere 15 hl/ha in 2004, resulting in only 1,100 bottles being produced), as Gautherot prunes the chardonnay here to only five bunches per vine, and this is well-reflected in the ample, mouth-filling character of this wine.

Larmandier-Bernier Rosé de Saignée - Bio
100% Pinot Noir From old vines in Vertus Dosage: 3g/l Vinification:This technique is rarely used in Champagne: the Pinots are partly destemmed and left to macerate for two to three days before the 'bleeding' is carried out. Then come the natural alcoholic fermentation (indigenous yeast) in an enamel-lined steel vat and a concrete egg, the malolactic fermentation and the maturation on the lees for about a year. The bottling takes place end of July. After being aged a minimum of 2 years in our cellars, the wine is disgorged 6 months before being marketed with a discreet dosage (2 grams of sugar). Tasting notes: WineAdvocate/Robert Parker - September 2020 || 93 points - The new rendition of Larmandier-Bernier's NV Extra Brut Rosé de Saignée has turned out very nicely, unwinding in the glass with aromas of orange rind, red berries, pear, white flowers and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, bright and fleshy, with an enveloping core of fruit, racy acids and delicate phenolic presence, it's still a little tightly wound—especially compared with last year's especially explosively aromatic release—but it should blossom beautifully in time for summer and beyond. JamesSuckling.com, October 2017 - Rosé de Saignée 1er Cru Extra Brut NV || 92 points - “Vintage 2014 released early as NV, this is a terrific expression of youthful pinot noir saignée with a 10% inclusion of co-planted pinot gris fermented in stainless and concrete eggs (20-25%). Delivers chalky minerals, poached pear and strawberries on the nose and palate. Smooth, soft and supple palate texture. Delicious. Made to drink young.”

Tarlant Cuvée La Lutétienne Rosé 2005
80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir Dosage: 0g/l Vinified in small oak barrels Uncompromising tribute to Tarlant’s Lutetian limestone plots Markus Hofschuster Wein-Plus about 2005: Deep, firm and complex, pronounced yeasty scent of pomaceous fruit and a little citrus fruit with floral aromas and very fine, rather dark spiciness. Juicy, dense and ripe-fruity in the mouth, lively, fine mousseux, nutty and herbal aromas, also a hint of tobacco, has a grip, but also something open-hearted, very slightly oxidative, complex, certain strength and melting, enormous substance, becomes more in the air cooler and firmer, clear minerality, deep, multi-layered and long, with a proper pull at the back. In wonderful shape. 96/100P

It is a blend of old vineyards (40 years old to over 100 years old) on this very special terroir, considered by all as one of the two greatest historic villages of the Côte des Blancs. Its silky texture, elegance and depth are unique. With 12 hectares of Grand Cru, we have never made a cuvée from 100% Grand Cru. Our philosophy of champagne making has always led us to add a touch of "Cuis 1er cru" to give freshness to our great vintages, because we prefer harmony to intensity. Since the 2012 vintage, we have decided to expand our range; the iconic "Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay" are complemented by 3 "Single Terroirs" in very limited quantities.
