Fresh & crisp.Tilman OCT24: Tension between yeast and freshness, rather on the sparser side, melting at the back, hints of red fruit, elegant, red fruit lingers, great length!Fabio OCT24: Brioche, yeastiness in the nose, little fruit, super fresh on the palate, crisp acidity, super dry, but super balance, nice length. Nicola JUN22: Nicely spicy, complex aromas of dried fruit, toasted aromas, coherent character, very harmonious and elegant, Long lasting nutty finish. Winery: The powerful structure of Pinot Noir is enlivened by the tension of Chardonnay. Moritz OCT22: The Cuvée Prologue is the entry point of the Domaine Labruyere. Getting started is an absolute understatement. As soon as you smell it for the first time, your eyebrows will be raised. Such complexity is not expected from the "base" cuvée of a domaine. It is immediately clear that the champagne Prologue is incredibly fresh and playful. Some cooked rhubarb and red apple are balanced beautifully with a slight herbaceous note. The first sip surprises as the wine is incredibly precise yet super juicy. The nose is reflected magnificently on the palate. The Prologue is deep, superbly balanced, and despite its complexity, accessible and charming. Aperitif character at a high level.

David Leclapart L’Artiste '20 - Bio
100% ChardonnayDosage: 0g/lThe terroir plays a special role here: deep-rooted Chardonnay vines from various 1er Cru plots give Léclapart the opportunity to let not only the purist of his cellar work, but also the original of the vineyard speak from his Champagne - soil and rock. Vinification takes place in equal parts in used barriques and in enamel tanks. Equipped with Zero Dosage, this Chardonnay masterfully conveys the style of the House of Léclapart.The fact that Léclapart was only able to harvest very small quantities over several vintages due to weather conditions underscores just how great the challenges are in Champagne for winemakers working organically and biodynamically. Therefore, we had to wait until 2024 for the next vintage of L'Artiste! L'Artiste is made from Chardonnay from vines 30 to 50 years old. The specific plot from which this wine comes varies from year to year. Léclapart calls this cuvée "a discovery of terroir": he is not looking for a specific expression here, but wants to learn more about the terroir of Trépail. Peter Liem: L’Artiste, is generally made from chardonnay vines between 30 and 50 years old, but the particular parcels vary from year to year. Léclapart calls this cuvée “a discovery of terroir”: “I’m not looking for anything in particular,” he says. “I’m just trying to learn about the terroir of Trépail.” Half of the wine for L’Artiste is vinified in old barriques, while the other half is made in enameled steel.

Crisp & fruity (primarily apple) and nuanced. Tasting JUL21: very complex release, very nutty, very layered, browned apple, slight ripeness, cool, great depth (Eric's language for minerality, chalk contact of vines, mouthfeel).

David Leclapart L'Astre '20 Blanc de Noirs - Bio
100% Pinot Noir from two young and two old single plotsDosage: 0g/lVinified in Barrique barrelsPeter Liem: Beginning with the 2010 vintage, however, Léclapart has discontinued making rosé, using his pinot noir to make a blanc de noirs called L’Astre. “In 2010,” he explains,” there was a great deal of rot, and the grapes turned very quickly. I couldn’t do a maceration, because of the risk of mold and unpleasant tastes, so I pressed all of the pinot noir instead. It turned out great, so I decided to do it again in 2011 and 2013. Maybe I’ll do an Alchemiste again, in a really good year, but I don’t know yet.” The inaugural release of L’Astre combines his two old-vine parcels of pinot noir with two parcels of younger vines, planted in 1997 and 2001, and the wine was vinified entirely in secondhand barriques. This was repeated in 2011, but in 2012 Léclapart’s harvest was so tiny that he blended all of the estate’s grapes together to make a single cuvée. In 2013, he used his pinot noir to make both L’Astre and a Coteaux Champenois rouge, and he’ll likely continue to do this in top vintages.

Eric Rodez Blanc de Blancs MAGNUM - Bio
100% ChardonnayDosage: 1g/l Assemblage using 5-6 vintages: 2007 - 41%, 2006 - 20%, 2005 - 17%, 2004 -15%, 2003 - 3%, 2002 - 4%. 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.

Eric Rodez Macération Rosé MAGNUM

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.

Ullens - Domaine de Marzilly L.P.M MAGNUM
100% Meunier Dosage: 2,5g/lAged in traditional 205 l barrels, made from regional oak, for 11 months18 months bottle ageing Riddled by handUnfined and unfilteredThe work is very manual and laborious, with a great sense of time and the needs of wine.The second coup of the highly gifted "newies" of Champagne. L.P.M refers to the area north-west of Reims, originally called "La Petit Montagne", in which their vineyards are located. Now that another area bears this name, it can no longer be written out on the label for Maximes and Anna's champagne and is therefore "encrypted". Nicola FEB26: Aromatic, currently accessible phase (was previously tighter), balanced, fine multi-layered herbal notes, vinous, partly mixed with mature notes, great drinking pleasure with sophistication. Maria FEB26: Vinous, but nevertheless not heavy, rather fresh and lively with ripe fruit and herbal notes. Very complex, yet balanced and accessible. Giuseppe Lauria Editor-in-Chief WEINWISSER APR23: I enjoyed a good 1-hour adventure with this Blanc de Noirs. Because it changes in 10-minute intervals. Initially very restrained, it only reveals its facets with increasing airflow. After 30 to 40 minutes it really gets going: At the beginning only very delicate grapefruit notes, followed by yellow fruits like pear and a touch of marzipan, later bright and light red berries like raspberry join them, which skillfully blend into one with the distinctive sea breeze exciting piece of finesse to be captured in the finale by fine spices such as fennel. An elegant champagne with great evolution in the glass. 17.5+/20-2029 Lukas FEB23: On the nose raspberry, pear and ripe peach with hints of melon and grapefruit in the background. In the mouth juicy lemon and grapefruit, some pear and lemongrass, plus a present and crisp acidity that gives a lot of traction and makes for a great drinkability. A lot of potential for the future, a lot of fun in the glass and a joy to drink right now, but also a very capable food companion. Nicola JUL21: Incredible fragrance that draws you in, very beautiful, subtle honey note, very exciting soft-spicy beguiling, very own aroma, also again wonderful food companion, has something sweet (not sweet), something red-fruity, very light red cherry, red pepper, slight maturity.
