Leclaire Thiefaine Cuvée 03 Grand Cru de Cramant V.V. 2020
100% ChardonnayDosage 2g/lFrom Cramant (Grand Cru)Aged in wooden barrels for 9 monthsBottle aging: At least 5 yearsOld vinesNicola FEB24: Minimal sherry notes, mature, with a finish of salted caramel.Moritz FEB24: Despite its beautiful maturity (slight oxidative notes), the Cuvée Constantin seems quite austere. There are aromas of wet stones, citrus fruits, but also white almonds and salted caramel. On the palate, the aromas from the nose seem a little more tart due to the acidity. The long finish leaves a beautifully chalky/mineral aftertaste, which gives the champagne even more grip and length.Nicola JUN22: Perhaps the chalkiest, most mineral of the range, but again with that beautiful ripe fruit note. Exciting, mildly spicy, complex tone. On the third day: racy, spicy notes, strong character with enormous drinkability.

Pierre Moncuit Millésime 2014 Extra Brut
100% Chardonnay, Grand Cru About 10 years bottle aging Dosage: 3g/l Tasting Nicola FEB23 (vintage 2012): Straightforward with creamy generosity, fresh with hints of brioche (will intensify with increasing maturity), very fine, elegant and at the same time powerful and extremely harmonious, balanced. Strong, already gives a lot of pleasure. No wonder it has matured for about 10 years and comes from one of the most sought-after Grand Cru locations in Champagne: le Mesnil sur Oger. Nicola OCT23 (vintage 2012): Now opens up slowly and gets the beautifully ripe, nutty flavor. Very profound, rich in finesse, elegant, long nutty finish, great combination with the freshness of 2012.

Brandnew cuvée from Janisson-Baradon with all 7 grape varieties that are authorized to cultivate in Champagne: 15% each: Pinot Blanc, Fromenteau, Arbane, Petit Meslier, Pinot Meunier, 13% Pinot Noir and 12% Chardonnay.The vines were planted in 1950, 1970, 1974, 1981, 2009 and 2011 at parcells Martinet, La Croisette, La Pie Danse and Meltin in the western area of Epernay.Gentle pressing in traditional basket pressVinified in steel tankNo malolactic fermentationNot filteredNicola 2023: The taste is intense but not too experimental, an exciting character! Various citrus notes are present, but also something herbal, floral (often found in the so-called "forgotten grape varieties"), interesting different fruit aromas (rather light), nice brioche and minerality (saltiness). Dry and crisp, very low dosage. The mouthfeel also has something creamy, really an exciting mix. When we tasted it in April, our impression was that it is a harmonious, expressive and special composition. The price is also pleasing, which is still affordable for such an exciting creation!

Larmandier-Bernier Longitude - Bio
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 3g/l 40% Reserve Perpetuelle At least 2 years of bottle maturity Previously, this cuvée had gone under the name of “Blanc de Blancs” since the beginning of the 20th century. It is made exclusively from our Chardonnays grown on the Côte des Blancs: Vertus, Oger, Avize, Cramant, which form a line close to the 4th meridian. “Longitude” is also an allusion to the length and the very pure, frank and mineral style of these great terroirs, where the chalk is very close to the surface. 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. The blending and the bottling are carried out in July. 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 more than 2 years. Each bottle is disgorged manually 6 months before being marketed. The dosage is 3 grams per litre (extra-brut!).

Eric Rodez Macération Rosé - Bio
30% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay vinified as white wine, 46% Pinot Noir vinified as maceration Dosage: 3g/l Average age of the vines: 33 Years Vinification: 80% in wood 40% malolactic fermentation, 60% without 4 years bottle aging Dosage: 3g/l Full-bodied, vinous, food friendly! Nicola FEB24: Ultra-complex, vibrant fruit, very strong energy, such lightness and finesse, there's hardly a better rosé out there. Moritz FEB24: Complex and radiant. Cooked strawberry, strawberry leaf, and earthy umami notes offer an extremely diverse taste experience. The acidity almost dances across the tongue with a lightness that is invigorating. The finish seems endless. A rosé champagne for those who have dismissed rosé as trivial and are open to being pleasantly surprised.

Eric Rodez Blanc de Blancs - Bio
100% ChardonnayDosage: 1,5g/l Average age of the vines: 32 years. Vinification: 70% used wood, 30% enamel tank; 70% without malolactic fermentation, 30% with. Terroir: Le noyer St Pys, les Morins, les Genettes, les Champsaults, Les Secs, Les Bermonts, Les Crayères, les Agusons, les Cheminots. This Blanc de Blanc does not belong to the minimalistic, mineral-driven style, but rather is round and balanced with a touch of fragrant flowers. Complex and nuanced due in part to the barrel influence and a perfect pairing partner at the table — to more than just fish! Nicola FEB24: A slightly richer release at the moment, very generous, a somewhat noticeable influence of wood, dried fruits, brioche. Moritz FEB24: Light, but very nice reduction, nose and palate reflect each other perfectly. Salty, wet stones, white almond are predominant, with a background of some dried apricot. All very calm. Very subtle, perfectly integrated wood notes. The mousseux is round but precise, and the long finish is very chalky.
