Janisson-Baradon Toulette 2012
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 2g/l Vintage cuvée from the single Grand Cru vineyard "Toulette" near Epernay: Grand CruYield: 30 hl/ha.Age of Vines: 50+ yearsNo malolactic fermentationMatured for 8-12 months in 100% in used barriques.The Janisson-Baradon Toulette 2012 is an exceptional single-vineyard Champagne from Épernay in the Champagne region. The grapes come from the historic "Toulette" parcel, which was first planted with Chardonnay in 1947. These old vines yield particularly concentrated and aromatic grapes.This Blanc de Blancs is made entirely from Chardonnay. The base wine is partially aged in oak barrels and does not undergo malolactic fermentation, thus preserving its freshness, structure, and mineral vibrancy.With a very low dosage of approximately 2 g/l (Extra Brut), this vintage Champagne is precise, dry, and terroir-driven. The result is a complex Champagne with intense aromas, a creamy texture, and remarkable length.The Cuvée Toulette is one of the most distinctive single-vineyard champagnes from the Janisson-Baradon house, combining Burgundian depth with the typical elegance of Champagne

Oudiette Rosé d'Infusion Vendange 2021
98% Chardonnay 2% Meunier From the individual layers: "Les Gras d'Huile" - Chardonnay - south-east exposure"Les Cormonts" - Meunier - southern exposure Dosage: 0g/l Maxime: The Rosé d'Infusion started with a simple idea: to transfer the method of tea infusion to winemaking. After pressing, we wait for the Chardonnay juices to ferment and then we pick the most beautiful Meunier grapes from the “Les Cormonts” plot. The Meunier grapes are then carefully destemmed by hand to avoid damaging the seeds. Then we pour the Meunier grapes into the Chardonnay must. From then on, we control the infusion several times a day through blind tastings to assess the taste; the color intensity is irrelevant here. Once the perfect balance is reached, we take out the Meunier grapes with a net: the Rosé d'Infusion is born and will finish its fermentation in oak barrels. With indigenous yeasts Batonnage: Only when the wine needs it Liqueur de tirage: Wine from the Cuvée Rosé d'Infusion brewed with organic raw sugar. Dosage liqueur: Identical to Tirage liqueur but aged in Magnum for 18 months. Vinification and aging: Every year in barrels from the Tonnellerie de Champagne and François Frère. New kegs 20%, second fill kegs 20%, fifth fill kegs 60%. Aging of 9 months on the fine lees Sulphurisation: no sulphurisation during harvest to facilitate the work of native yeasts. After the alcoholic fermentation, a sulphurization of 2gr/hl is applied.Nikola OCT24: Moves me, although it's difficult to say exactly what it is. Perhaps the balance of freshness, flavour and this hidden profundity that Maxime also exudes. Rosehip tea, has something so sublime about it.Fabio OCT24: Not particularly fruity, but light red berries, super elegant and fine, profound, high complexity, super balance, very good! Tilman OCT24: Fresh, but not crisp, rather elegant, has real depth and structure, unusual dark flavour for Meunier, mineral-salty.

Labruyère Paradoxe Blanc de Noirs 2018
100% Pinot Noir Dosage between 0-3 g/l From the plots: Les Champs Saint-Martin, L'Espérance 5 years of bottle agingNicola OCT24: Straightforward, berry fruit, dark fruit. Elegant, puristic, but profound aromas, very fine spiciness from the wood ageing, long nutty finish.Tilman OCT24: Initially somewhat reductive and closed, but then opens up quickly. Slightly bitter, even more profound than Anthologie, structured, fresh, clear and mineral!Fabio OCT24: Somewhat closed, with more air comes fine red fruitiness, citrus peel, chalky, straightness runs through, very complex, strong finish. Giuseppe Lauria Chedredaktion Editor-in-Chief APR23: Beautiful, radiant rose gold. Characterful appearance with a wide-ranging bouquet with raspberries, red fruits tossed in butter, the finest butter pastries, all accompanied by saline undertones, a touch of Williams pear resonates. Powerful, masculine but with a lot of enamel. The mousseux is very juicy and gives the champagne an invigorating freshness and subtle tension right through to the long, tart, fresh finale. 18/20 –2030 Nicola MAI22: Strongly vibrant, long, nice wood influence, complex! Paula Bosch SEP22: This single-varietal Pinot Noir was pressed white, given 5 years to mature in the bottle and bottled without dosage. The result is a very spicy, uncompromising, bone-dry Champagne with a salty note, a powerhouse with great character. If you are looking for a link to Burgundy in Champagne J.M. Labruyere, you have the best example with Paradoxe. Despite the tremendous richness in the mouth - a whole cello concerto takes place here - each sip remains in harmony and balance, without corners and edges, the fine, compact mousse caresses the palate. The animating acidity makes the Paradoxe an ideal food companion from caviar to langoustine, Breton turbot in Beurre Blanc with morels to a zabaglione with crepes and caramel ice cream. What distinguishes this champagne is its seasoning full of character. Moritz OCT22: The beautiful rose gold is radiant in the glass. The paradox is characterized by an angular dark berry fruit. The mousseux is very juicy and gives the champagne a pleasant freshness. The finish is long and slightly tart, which gives the wine even more excitement.

Yet red fruity and with a fine yeast flavour, wonderfully balanced.Fabio OCT24: Ripe citrus, black bread rind, delicate fine oxidation, very elegant & complex, fine perlage on the palate, ripe red fruit, beautiful saltiness, a pleasure to drink with a lot of sophistication. Nicolas: "Arsène is the first name of the son of Jérôme, our friend who has worked with us for many years now.Baptizing a cuvée Arsène means integrating Jérôme a little more into the history of our house. On the label, Arsène is very elegant, like the vintage it characterizes. He is tall and his posture oscillates between rigor and relaxation, attesting that this wine, despite its Grand Cru origins and its vintage, remains accessible and supple.The cane is an instrument aimed at enhancing the elegance but also the balance of the cuvée.As for the bike, connoisseurs will notice that it is an old racing bike, (equipped with its cans of course) affirming the racy side of this great vintage."
