We discover aromas of paprika, pepper, some stone fruit and damp forest soil. The mousse is very powerful. It is firm on the palate and shows very light ripe tones and a nice spiciness. On the finish, which, as with the other cuvées, just doesn't want to end, we find a nice, salty freshness.Nicola FEB24: Dark, earthy, full-bodied, still a little closed, salty.Tasting AUG22: Creamy with hints of butter croissant and very animatingly roasty. Initially a little rough and firm, air and time give it more and more drinkability and allow notes of Roiboosh tea, Palo Cortado, chocolate and nuts to shine through. Polarising but highly exciting!

Vauversin Cuvée La Petite Haye
100% Chardonnay Dosage: Brut Nature (0 g/L)Vintage: 2021 Production: 1,244 bottles In the frost-affected 2021 vintage, the Rossignol vineyard suffered severe damage, leaving too few grapes for a separate vinification. Instead, Laurent Vauversin chose to vinify the untouched La Petite Haye parcel on its own, with outstanding results. After several months of ageing in oak, this exceptional single-vineyard Blanc de Blancs was bottled – a cuvée that will only be released as a standalone wine in exceptional vintages. Tilman JUL26: A lovely, elegant and playful nose. On the palate, it has a medium-bodied structure, lovely ripe citrus aromas, firm yet soft acidity, a hint of nuttiness and absolute elegance. Highly recommended!

Eric Rodez Cuvée de Crayères - Bio
60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay Dosage: 6g/l Blended with 12 diverse base wines from 4 vintages 45-50% Reserve wine (20-25% vinified in small barrel) Terroirs: Terroir d'Ambonnay: Les Bermonts, Le Moulin, Les cheminots, Les Grandes Ruelles, Le Noyer saint pys, les secs, Les Fournettes, La pierre aux larrons, Les agusons, Les Beurys.... Average age of the vines: 30 Years Vinification: 70% in enamel tank, 30% in old barrel, 75% with malolactic fermentation, matured for up to 7 years on the lees Domaine's entry level champagne, one that nonetheless displays a challenging complexity. Crisp & fruity (primarily apple) and nuanced. 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, Dosage 6g/l Nicola FEB24: Ultra strong, complex, slightly matured flavors but spot on, extremely long, multi-layered, also a bit of a stony element which makes it even more interesting. Ultra balanced. Moritz FEB24: Even with the "entry-level" cuvée, one can feel the elegance and complexity that Eric skillfully wants to encapsulate in the bottle. Everything is very delicate, not too loud, yet very present. A harmony of marzipan, roasted nuts, chalk, and a light smokiness greets the senses. The palate brings out more of the fresh, chalky flavors, which suits the cuvée extremely well. An extremely long finish ties the whole package together. What is sold as an entry-level at Maison Rodez, without overstepping, could be the pinnacle in many other houses. Tasting FEB20: Very strong, made another leap forward since tasting a year ago, very dense, great 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).

Benoit Marguet Shaman 23 - Bio
84% Pinot Noir16% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l Juicy, salty, mineral and complex! The cuvée of annually changing portions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from pure Grand Cru locations was fermented in barrels up to nine years old. The Benoît Marguet champagnes are filled without added sulfur and without dosage. Description of Sebastian Bordthäuser about 2016: Nose: The Shaman by Champagne Marguet from the 2016 vintage has been on the lees for around two years and entices with a richly filled display: yeast braid, brioche and pretzel biscuits as well as a generous piece of butter outline the notes of autolysis, which are enhanced by fine notes of apricot with increasing ventilation in the glass . Stoved apples follow, which are accompanied by herbal spices with aromas of sorrel and Giersch. Grounded through the obligatory ground oyster shell, the nose can look forward to the first sip. Mouth: With a creamy texture and small-sparkling Mousseux in the first taste, it is initially a bit quick-tempered, which can be attributed to the short time after the disgorgement and will soon go away. The bread notes of sourdough and pretzels of pretzels are aromatically reflected in the nose. On the palate it is precise but by no means leptosome, but with a good juice and joyful appearance. Its mouth-watering saline vein nestles around the slim acid nerve and, in combination with the fine phenolic, gives it its non-slip, non-slip feel that accelerates its drinking speed immensely. Fruity and tart with animating notes of red, ripe apple in a long, smoky finish. Food Pairing: - Ravioli with young spinach in nutmeg butter and crumbs - Mussels with french fries - Fried chicken wings with red fermented tofu

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. Tasting: citrus fruits, quince, vineyard peach, fennel, mint and liquorice. Taste explosion and good length in the mouth, subtle bitter note and a lot of minerality in the finish.

Very exciting, also different perlage, has a different dimension than fruit and structure, stony, cool flavour. Tilman MAR25: Darker, deeper, smokier, creamy and soft at the same time, difficult to put into words, opens up a completely different dimension, stony, mineral.Tasting: Fresh fruits: wild strawberries, quince, nectarine, ripe lemon. Straightforward, silky and taut wine. Long finish on the palate with plenty of minerality.
