Larmandier-Bernier Rosé de Saignée - Bio
100% Pinot Noir From old vines in Vertus Dosage: 3g/l Vinification:This technique is rarely used in Champagne: the Pinots are partly destemmed and left to macerate for two to three days before the 'bleeding' is carried out. Then come the natural alcoholic fermentation (indigenous yeast) in an enamel-lined steel vat and a concrete egg, the malolactic fermentation and the maturation on the lees for about a year. The bottling takes place end of July. After being aged a minimum of 2 years in our cellars, the wine is disgorged 6 months before being marketed with a discreet dosage (2 grams of sugar). Tasting notes: WineAdvocate/Robert Parker - September 2020 || 93 points - The new rendition of Larmandier-Bernier's NV Extra Brut Rosé de Saignée has turned out very nicely, unwinding in the glass with aromas of orange rind, red berries, pear, white flowers and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, bright and fleshy, with an enveloping core of fruit, racy acids and delicate phenolic presence, it's still a little tightly wound—especially compared with last year's especially explosively aromatic release—but it should blossom beautifully in time for summer and beyond. JamesSuckling.com, October 2017 - Rosé de Saignée 1er Cru Extra Brut NV || 92 points - “Vintage 2014 released early as NV, this is a terrific expression of youthful pinot noir saignée with a 10% inclusion of co-planted pinot gris fermented in stainless and concrete eggs (20-25%). Delivers chalky minerals, poached pear and strawberries on the nose and palate. Smooth, soft and supple palate texture. Delicious. Made to drink young.”

Vouette & Sorbée Blanc d'Argile Brut Nature R20 - Bio Kopie
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l Peter Liem: In 2004, Gautherot began bottling a pure chardonnay called Blanc d’Argile, from the Biaunes vineyard. The vines here are young, having been planted in 2000, and unlike Vouette, which faces south, Biaunes has a western exposure, meaning that the grapes take a long time to ripen. Yields tend to be very low (a mere 15 hl/ha in 2004, resulting in only 1,100 bottles being produced), as Gautherot prunes the chardonnay here to only five bunches per vine, and this is well-reflected in the ample, mouth-filling character of this wine.

Tarlant Cuvée La Lutétienne Rosé 2005

Juicy, dense and ripe-fruity in the mouth, lively, fine mousseux, nutty and herbal aromas, also a hint of tobacco, has a grip, but also something open-hearted, very slightly oxidative, complex, certain strength and melting, enormous substance, becomes more in the air cooler and firmer, clear minerality, deep, multi-layered and long, with a proper pull at the back. In wonderful shape. 96/100P

It is a blend of old vineyards (40 years old to over 100 years old) on this very special terroir, considered by all as one of the two greatest historic villages of the Côte des Blancs. Its silky texture, elegance and depth are unique. With 12 hectares of Grand Cru, we have never made a cuvée from 100% Grand Cru. Our philosophy of champagne making has always led us to add a touch of "Cuis 1er cru" to give freshness to our great vintages, because we prefer harmony to intensity. Since the 2012 vintage, we have decided to expand our range; the iconic "Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay" are complemented by 3 "Single Terroirs" in very limited quantities.

00% Chardonnay From two Grand Cru terroirs: Le Mesnil, Oger Blend of two consecutive vintages 10 months aging in wood without battonage Unfiltered 2-3 years bottle aging Dosage: 0g/l Malo: Yes Great introduction to the Côte des Blancs! The Chardonnay grapes come from two Grand Cru terroirs: Le Mesnil and Oger. An ideal combination, according to the winemaker Pierre Amillet, because Le Mesnil is very firm and acidic, a little softer Ogre. Tasting: Very fine character; light biscuit and delicate smokiness on the nose, lively and wonderfully fresh on the palate.
