Vincent Bliard Les Fondamentaux - Bio
40% Pinot Noir, 30% Meunier, 30% ChardonnayDosage 2g/lFrom Hautvillers (Premier Cru)Matured in wood for 1 yearBottle ageing: at least 4 yearsNo fining, no filtration, minimal addition of sulphurNicola Oct25: This bottle at the winery had been open for a few days, which made the otherwise somewhat creamy cuvée spicier and more robust. It has minimal, pleasant tannins that provide some grip, generous notes of ripeness and toastiness, and is always fresh and vibrant.Moritz FEB24: The nose emits a warm spice accompanied by dark berry fruits and a hint of red apple. On the palate, the champagne shows its backbone. The acidity is powerful yet does not lose its elegance. A fine spice and tart red apple also dominate the taste, indicative of a perfectly managed use of wood. The endlessly long finish leaves beautiful mature flavors on the palate. A great companion to food.Nicola FEB24: Very aromatic, rich in extract, herbal, minimal sherry aftertaste, biodynamic touch, a slightly wilder release than in previous years.Moritz OKT22: Fresh, spicy and with a skilful use of wood, the bar is set extremely high with this ‘entry-level’ champagne.

Pierre Moncuit Delos
The second cuvée from the Moncuit domaine is produced solely using wines from the Le Mesnil sur Oger vineyard. Here too the wines are made from a single vintage. 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs Dosage: 6g/l Nicola OKT23: A little darker than Pierre Moncuit's Hugues de Coulmet, more body, more power, more grip, a little darker, more distinctive, more mineral Antonio Galloni Vintage NV – 93P: The Brut is effusive, bright and focused. The added dosage in the Brut version versus the Extra Brut lends texture and resonance while enhancing all the orchard fruit, citrus and floral flavors. Ample and broad, with notable depth, the Brut is a pure and total delight.

Bright and full of energy and sizzles with tension. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper are all beautifully lifted. The Extra Brut really comes alive with a bit of time in the glass. It's a style that works so well at Moncuit.

Henriet-Bazin Cuvée Leonard Rosé Brut
50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir (from that 19% vinified as red wine) From two Grand Cru Terroirs: Verzenay und Verzy Dosage: 7g/l 3 years of bottle maturity Contains 30% reserve wines until 1968 Lukas NOV22: In the nose notes of apple-raspberry with some rosehip as well as hints of cherry and hay flowers, in the mouth apple-raspberry notes, in addition light grapey accents and some raspberry buttermilk, very animating, pleasant acidity and great drinkability. Perfect as an aperitif. Background Story from the winery: Marie-Noëlle likes that her Rosé is not a simple colored champagne but that it clearly marks the aromas of red fruits specific to Pinot Noir Grand Cru from Verzenay and Verzy. For this, she produces its red wine by harvesting the ripest grapes on a south-facing plot located at the bottom of the hills. The southern exposure brings a richness, breadth and body. But this excess of sun also pushes the vines to go underground to hydrate themselves. The accumulation of silt from the bottom of the hill covers the chalk to a great thickness, which deprives the vine of the minerality that Marie-Noëlle did not want for this cuvée. Blended at 19%, the red wine offers a champagne rich in fruity aromas. However, there was no question of making a sparkling red wine, so it was blended with 50% Chardonnay to bring elegance and freshness. But rather than drawing on the minerality of Chardonnay from Villers-Marmery, Marie-Noëlle went to look in these plots of Verzenay so that the chalk is not omnipresent and allows the fruit to express itself fully. The difficulty of this blend and the multiple recepied Marie-Noelle experienced before foinding the perfect blend she was looking for having made me think of the Codex of Leonardo da Vinci, So we decided to baptize the cuvée Léonard. It is therefore a Rosé Champagne that is both powerful and elegant, combining the richness of red fruits, the complexity of the blends and the elegance of our vinifications. Unlike his label companions, Leonard is not on a bicycle but he rides a motorcycle. A beautiful red-raspberry color Monet-Goyon from 1933 which is also in our tasting room. A motorcycle is a bicycle to which an engine has been added to give it power. And Rosé is Champagne to which we have blended red wine which brings all its power. So you understand why Leonardo is the only one on a motorcycle. The character is of strong build, and wears big boots and pretty leather gloves that connect him to authentic and strengh of the Pinot Noir, just like the rosé he represents. But it is no less smiling, attesting to the friendliness and elegance of our rosé.

100% Pinot Noir From two Grand Cru Terroirs: Verzenay und Verzy Dosage: 5g/l Bottle maturation: 3 years Contains 30% reserve wines until 1968 Tasting JUL20: Great mixture of generous wineiness and spicy-nutty-complex complexity thanks to the reserve wines. The latter reverberate for a few minutes and give the feeling of having something of very high quality in the glass (that's the way it is, but you almost have to say it because the price is so extremely cheap). Very harmonious, but also something strong-gripping mixes with it, i.e. has character. Slightly bitter but very pleasant. Tasting JUL21: Generous, full-bodied aromatics, ultra juicy, beguiling fruit, wonderful drinking companion

Great complexity with yeast, brioche and wood notes. Citrus fruits again on the palate, fine bubbles, fresh and mineral. Intense and long finish. A multi-layered and intense champagne with drinking flow. One of my favourites! Lukas FEB23: In the nose initially a bit closed up, needs air and then shows floral-herbal and complex warm spicy notes. In the mouth very full-bodied and complex, primarily ripe apple and fine spiciness, backed by a nicely integrated acidity and a very long finish. Needs air to show its full potential but then opens up beautifully.

With all the ripeness on the palate, it is still extremely fresh and salty, mineral. Nicola FEB24: Creamy, delicately spicy with nice freshness and a nutty long aftertaste (could be a bit crisper but might be a day with richer flavors). Moritz FEB24: Relatively warm and spicy on the nose. Aromas of baked apple, marzipan, but also something fresh like grapefruit. On the palate, however, very juicy and fresh with a very creamy finish. Tasting FEB20: Very harmonious product, very nice brioche, creamy, very long, acidity makes it lively, well integrated, this release is still young, great with seafood, very elegant Tasting FEB19: Extremely long, at the same time rather delicate in length, nutty in the finish, lively, acidity very well buffered, salty, mineral, yellow fresh fruits, everything very precise and yet soft - excellent combination!
