Ullens - Domaine de Marzilly Brut
80% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay 50% reserve wines Dosage: 3g/l With this cuvée, presented for the first time in 2019, Maxime proves his enormous talent in champagne-making. Animating flavor, fine-pored mousse, full of pressure and creamy thanks to 50% reserve wine. Juicy and complex, intense in ferns and expression and yet extremely refreshing and drinkable! All Doamaine champagnes are matured in wood with the traditional measure of 205 liters. These are made especially for the two of them by a nearby barrel producer and provided with different toasting levels. One looks for the perfect harmony with the greatest possible respect for the natural processes in the vineyard and cellar and is already on the way to organic certification. Tilman FEB24: Juicy, powerful, spicy and still with great freshness. Very expressive and ever evolving in the glass. Lukas FEB23: In the nose strawberry, raspberry and blueberry and hints of melon. Very juicy in the mouth, the very nice acidity perfectly underpins the apple, raspberry and citrus flavors, with light notes of wafers on the finish. Very animating to drink with great draw. Tasting JUL21: Strong character, spicy grip, very coherent in itself, tells its own story, very long, very coherent, spicy finish. Intense and interesting, you almost wait until you take the next sip. A great food companion: baked apple, toasted bread, dried fig, dried apricots, beautiful perlage. Might go very well with liver pâté or similar.

Vincent Bliard Libre comme l’air Rosé - Bio
75% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, 5% Meunier (of which 7% red wine)Dosage 4g/litreChardonnay, Pinot Noir & Meunier from Hautvillers (Premier Cru)Matured in wooden barrels for 1 yearBottle ageing: at least 4 yearsNo fining, no filtration, minimal addition of sulphurNicola Oct25: Generous, lavish fruit aromas that remain wonderfully light thanks to the Chardonnay influence; minimal funky aromas make it exciting.Nicola FEB24: Beautifully charming and, as always with this cuvée, a unique flavour, black plum, generous yet light-footed aromas.Moritz FEB24: A very nice blend of raspberry, plum and a hint of mint on the nose. On the palate, the mint is more pronounced and the fruit is more cherry-like with a slight malolactic fermentation. This creates a charming creaminess. However, the taut acidity cuts through the creamy, round body like a butter knife and gives the champagne more dimension and additional freshness.Nicola OKT22: Berry, earthy, beautiful tannins, rich, food companionMoritz OKT22: Chardonnay-heavy rosé from a single vintage and aged for at least 1 year in wood is a rarity. But the Libre comme l'air is exactly that. Spicy and playful with a light red fruit flavour and a taut acidity. A truly complex rosé that leaves you wanting more.
