an original cuvée: Biodynamic, aged 18 months in amphorae. terroir and cepages from the south of France, for a dark, round wine with an astonishing hold in fruit that makes this wine paradoxically light to drink. Need a good decantation of two hours. drinkable — 4 years ago
The Ariston Aspasie Cépages d'Antan is a blend of one grape that is nearly extinct in Champagne, Petit Meslier and two rare grapes that get blended into Champagne. It parses into 40% Petit Meslier, 40% Arbanne, and 20% Pinot Blanc. None of the three main grapes; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier
Crazy good body and super soft mouthfeel. There is soft precision in the palate. Excellent micro oxygenation. Shades of the 2007 Taittinger Comte’s. Leads with the white citruses.- lime, lemon, grapefruit, kiwi, some pineapple juice, tropical green melon, what softer than soft powdery chalkiness, limestone, volcanics just as soft, spring flowers for days, perfect acidy and a purely beautifully balanced, knitted, length that has length and a singing finish that goes on and on. @ K&L Champagne tasting. — 5 months ago

Rose’ from Morocco? G/S/M blend. Great texture. Red fruit aromas and flavors. Hints of minerals and fresh herbs. Just a touch of RS that really rounds out this wine. No bitter aftertaste. Very interesting. — 5 years ago

Think I have the right one...high expectations here for some reason but very mediocre. Oaky with a metallic finish. Mellowed a bit after awhile but still. 14.4% no surprise. No cinq cepages here — 3 years ago

Nose: lovely swee t cherries. Cherry lipstick. As this opens penetrating lilacs.
Palate : perfect mid season cherries. Very bright. Great balance. Terrific palate vivacity.
Let’s see where this goes..
MUCH better with air. Nose is more complex. Palate is amazing. Great precision.
Better in 2025. — 4 months ago
