Vouette & Sorbée Fidèle Brut Nature R22 - Bio
100% Pinot Noir Dosage 0g/l The vines grow on a demeter-certified 3.5 hectare plot, oriented to the southwest on so-called Kimmeridgian soil in Biaunes and Vouette. Average age of the vines: 40-50 years The unbranched vines are pressed with a traditional Coquard press and fermented in 400 and 228 liter wooden vats without the addition of yeast. After fermentation, the wine remains in the barrel on its lees for up to 10 months, during which time it undergoes malolactic fermentation. Approx. 95% from one year with a Minimum share of a perpetual reserve (start 2001) The champagne is bottled unfiltered and without dosage. Peter Liem: The primary wine of the estate is a blanc de noirs called Fidèle, made entirely of pinot noir and almost exclusively from Kimmeridgian soils in Biaunes and Vouette. It’s largely composed of a single year, with just three to seven percent of reserve wine, stored in a perpetual blend (a sort of mini-solera) started in 2001.

Very nice lively freshness that makes it very elegant and invigorating, very long finish.Fabio OKT24: Rather lean and fresh, but still with a certain richness. Always wonderfully balanced, beautiful complexity. Tilman OKT24: Great ripeness, with fresh acidity, thus balanced and complex, enormous length and very elegant.Moritz OKT22: The Reserve Perpetuelle has an incredibly complex nose. A light, pleasant oxidation, flavours of dark cocoa bean and white pepper are rounded off by grilled lemon. You don't want to take your nose out of the glass. The palate has a fantastic grip and a playful acidity.

David Leclapart L’Amateur '22 - Bio
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l L’Amateur is the house's entry-level cuvée, a blend of six different parcels in Trépail. This single-origin Chardonnay is vinified in enamelled 33 hl steel tanks - Léclapart does not use stainless steel tanks because he is convinced that this generates negative energy. Like all of the house's wines, L'Amateur goes through malolactic fermentation, there is no fining or filtration whatsoever. The result is a powerful Chardonnay, pure and without make-up with a mineral bite. Léclapart's champagnes are different, headstrong and fascinating. The "L'Amateur" is particularly recommended for getting to know the style, as it already gives an idea of what is still to be discovered. Be sure to carafe or ventilate for a long enough time! Peter Liem: The entry-level cuvée is called L’Amateur, blended from five different parcels in Trépail and vinified entirely in enameled 33 HL. steel tanks—Léclapart has no stainless steel anywhere in his cellar, as he believes that it promotes negative energy.

Henriet-Bazin Cuvée Gaston & Louise MAGNUM
50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir Dosage 0g/l 3 years of bottle maturity 70% base vintage, 30% Perpetuelle Reserve (since 1968) The new cuvée from Marie-Noelle and Nicolas is about respect. Respect for the founders and ancestors of the winery: It all started with Gaston Henriet, Marie-Noelle's great-grandfather. He owned vineyards in Verzenay that were mainly planted with Pinot Noir and, like almost all of them at the time, sold his grapes to the cooperative. In 1890 he decided to produce champagne under his own name and Champagne Henriet was born.There was a generation on the side of the later married-in Bazin winery, another key figure: Louise. Louise had a great love for the Chardonnay vines and vineyards in Villers-Marmery and looked after them with great devotion as if it were her own garden. These two people form the backbone of today's Champagane Henriet-Bazin winery and Nicolas and Marie Noelle try to follow the ideals established at the time with carefully introduced innovations. This cuvée is also about respect for nature and its processes, which you have to understand in order to create a cuvée that is so coherent in itself that it does not require a dosage. This cuvée, made in equal parts from Pinot Noir (Gaston) and Chardonnay (Louise), is dedicated to these two important people, whose work and passion have shaped the perspective of the two winemakers and laid the foundation for their appreciation and attention to nature. The tadem on the label means that you don't necessarily have to be faster as a couple, but you can certainly get further :) Tilman JAN24: A multi-layered cuvée that starts off as winey and spicy and reaches a long mineral finish supported by fine brioche aromas. Tasting MRZ21: Very little attack, Pinot takes the stage first, the aroma melts at the back and the fresher, more elegant Chardonnay prevails, nice nutty finish. Straight but not too sparse despite the zero dosage, because of the vinous, pinot-fruity aroma. Powerful. lively and juicy! Tasting JUL21: Very juicy, strong drinking flow, high quality fruit, nice mix of red fruits and mature yellow fruit, straight, spicy and aromatic, consistent, restrained acidity, very nice nutty finish, crisp, develops more complex flavors over time

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.

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.
