Éric Taillet Sur Le Grand Marais Brut Nature
90% Meunier, 10% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l Field blend vineyard parcelle "Sur le Grand Marais" Wines from a Perpetuum reserve (2013-2015) 5 years bottle aging Only 500 btl/year Giuseppe Lauria Editor-in-Chief WEINWISSER APR23: Wonderfully distinctive color (radiant yellow gold with mother-of-pearl reflections). A super exciting champagne with apricot tart and butter biscuits, then there are herbal notes, almost smelling of essential oils such as mint oil and citrus thyme, you notice the influence of the reserve perpetuelle and the wood aging of the base wines, whereby I don't see this as disturbing at all, but as the perceived complexity as promoting. Smooth meltiness in the mouth, very soft texture and full-bodied, lively mousseux, but with a salty underlay right through to the end. 18/20-2029 Tasting Nicola OCT22 & FEB23: An incredibly cool wine! It has an unusual herbaceousness and a character all of its own, but is so long, complex and fine that it lingers forever. It also has a great structure. Overall really impressive. However, not really loud, so it also has something filigree.

Fresh, powerful, and with a lovely finish.Nicola OKT23: Rich, opulent, almost lavish, really beautiful!Nicola FEB23: Extremely Burgundian, like a white Burgundy with perlage, wood influence clear but well integrated. Strong, special character, fresh.ANDREAS DEZ22: Clearly perceptible and very appetising aroma of freshly planed oak, not toasty and coconutty but creamy and fine, turmeric, mace blossom, refreshing acidity as a counterbalance to the full-bodied structure, pleasantly unagitated perlage, as always very distinctive and bold, a great food companion.

Crisper and fresher than Papillon and Cognaux, but becomes softer, nuttier and spicier on the finish thanks to the Pinot Noir. Spans a great arc, both straightforward and generous.
