A potpourri of sour cherry, red apple, and plum jumps out at you. On the palate, everything appears a bit lighter and incredibly juicy. There is a tremendous flow of drinking, and the long finish makes you want more.Nicola FEB24: Wonderful red fruitiness, juicy, powerful, elegant, with a touch of dark plum.

Brandnew cuvée from Janisson-Baradon with all 7 grape varieties that are authorized to cultivate in Champagne: 15% each: Pinot Blanc, Fromenteau, Arbane, Petit Meslier, Pinot Meunier, 13% Pinot Noir and 12% Chardonnay.The vines were planted in 1950, 1970, 1974, 1981, 2009 and 2011 at parcells Martinet, La Croisette, La Pie Danse and Meltin in the western area of Epernay.Gentle pressing in traditional basket pressVinified in steel tankNo malolactic fermentationNot filteredNicola 2023: The taste is intense but not too experimental, an exciting character! Various citrus notes are present, but also something herbal, floral (often found in the so-called "forgotten grape varieties"), interesting different fruit aromas (rather light), nice brioche and minerality (saltiness). Dry and crisp, very low dosage. The mouthfeel also has something creamy, really an exciting mix. When we tasted it in April, our impression was that it is a harmonious, expressive and special composition. The price is also pleasing, which is still affordable for such an exciting creation!

Georges Laval Cumières Premier Cru Brut Nature L22 - 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.
