Sélèque:"One of the 5 most beautiful Chardonnay terroirs of the estate, it benefits from a south-west exposure, very windy, and a shallow soil directly rooted in the chalk. The ideal location to obtain grapes of great maturity and freshness." Nicola FEB23 (vintage 20): Wood quite present, but otherwise rather cool, straightforward style

Wonderfully developed, delicious! Extremely harmonious, straight to the point - has retained the delicacy of the Pinot Blanc, still straightforward, elegant, cool, since no sugar, then a wonderful generous mixture of honey, nuts, brioche, cream, chocolate unfolds towards the back , Coffee that blends very gently and inconspicuously into the overall picture. Great development! Rating from Customer: More yellow fruited than I would expect, fresh, linear and inviting to another sip. More interesting than 98% of what I have tasted from this grape. The bottles was empty halfway through our dinner (I would have liked to see it develop over many hours, and luckily I have another) - (93+p)

Pauline Collin Bérêche Ludes 1er Cru Vielles Vignes 2020
60% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 5% Petit MeslierDosage: 2g/lMatured in 450 litre barrels from Vincent Girard in MeursaultBottle ageing: 4 years Tobias APR26: A Champagne with a quiet yet undeniable presence. Creamy texture, carried by a delicately spicy aromatic profile. Lively and vibrant on the palate, yet deep and structured. The balance is effortlessly complex, without heaviness, and remarkably easy to drink.Nicola APR26: Beautiful honey notes, subtle spiciness, extremely multifaceted, becoming more energetic and powerful with every sip. The aging notes are beautifully and perfectly integrated, superbly balanced, and generous on the finish.Nicola FEB25 (Vintage 2019): Initially racy and pithy, but then quickly opens up with air and becomes more generous. Some honey, herbs, very good perlage, seems to benefit enormously from air, becomes really complex!Tilman FEB25 (Vintage 2019): Brioche-like, but at the same time clearly fresh due to the Meslier, beautiful perlage, nutty, enormously vibrant, energetic. Becomes much more multi-layered with air, really complex, fine berry flavour as a fruit component, plus the supporting acidity. Constantly evolving and yet remains true to itself, extremely exciting!

Marie Courtin Cuvée Présence - Bio
70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot BlancDosage 0g/lFrom a single vineyard in PolisotMatured in stainless steelBottle ageing: 3 yearsTilman AUG24: The nose is stony, citrusy, pleasantly tart, slightly yellow-fruity and a little exotic fruit. Dark, slightly smoky on the palate, the fruit is rather restrained, but the structure is amazing. It is grippy, constantly evolves in the glass, takes up the whole mouth, but always remains fresh, mineral and salty. Fascinating length, something to ponder and savour!Tasting SEP21: Soft, charming, subtle wood, harmonious, soft, very well-integrated acidity. Pear, white flowers, floral (all typical of Pinot Blanc) - bottle is empty surprisingly quickly!

Pierre Brocard Absimilis 2019
100% Pinot BlancDosage 2g/lMatured in stainless steelBottle ageing: 4 years7 days maceration in cement vats, unfined & unfilteredNicola FEB24: Really powerful, generous, great complex special character, tastes matured but fresh and soft, floral, nice honey note.Moritz FEB24: When you put your nose in the glass, all your synapses are connected. There's a lot going on. Honeydew melon, some kiwi, oyster shells, wet stones, very fine smokiness. The nose alone is very complex. The Absimilis then really picks up speed on the palate. The combination of a very rich extract and a very austere flavour is fascinating. The finish is extremely long and leaves a delicate feeling of stone powder on the tongue.

René Geoffroy Lieu-Dit "Les Houtrants complantés" Premier Cru Brut Nature
Pinot Noir, Meunier, Chardonnay, Arbane and Petit Meslier (Field Blend)Dosage 0g/lFrom the single vineyard Les Houtrants in CumièresAged in stainless steelBottle ageing: At least 4 yearsPerpetuum Reserve since 2008, aged under corkNicola MRZ26: Super exciting cuvée, highly aromatic and fresh at the same time, great presence, body, balanced, great creamy roasted notes, a hint of honey, character, strong!Tilman MRZ26: Layered, complex, fresh, each grape variety plays its part, vibrant, fascinating!Tilman AUG24: Rather reserved on the nose and dominated by white grape varieties, slightly floral, citrusy, a hint of grapefruit. 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).

18% Chardonnay, 18% Meunier, 17% Pinot Blanc, 14% Pinot Noir, 15% Petit Meslier, 10% Pinot Gris, 8% Arbane In the old vineyards one came across almost forgotten vines that used to play a role in the production of champagne. In 2003 the decision was made to plant Fromenteau, Arbanne and Petit Meslier together with the classic grape varieties in one plot. The vineyards lie on loamy and sandy limestone soils, some with flint in the municipality of Chavot-Courcourt. No use of pesticides or other chemical agents. Manual harvest with optimal ripening of the grapes, spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in at least 10 year old barriques from Burgundy for 6 months with regular stirring of the yeast ('bâtonnage'). No malolactic fermentation Then the base wines are fed into a Solera system. 40% reserve wines mature here, to which 60% of the current vintage is added every year. Degogged by hand à la volée Dosage: 4 g/l
