Here’s a beautiful Coteaux Champenois rouge by Grower Producer Champagne J. Lassalle, located in the village of Chigny Les Roses in the Montagne de Reims region!

When founder Jules Lassalle passed away in the 1980s, his wife Olga and daughter Chantal took over the family business, which continues to be run today by Chantal joined now by her daughter, Angéline.

As for this wine, it’s the 2018 Chigny Les Roses Coteaux Champenois Rouge made with 100% Pinot Noir grown on vines over 50 years old! It fermented and aged (9 mos) in stainless steel, preserving a fresh and vibrant profile.

It’s pale ruby in color.  On the nose are juicy fruit notes of red and black cherry, strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, redcurrant, boysenberry, and kirsch, next to hibiscus, pink rose, wet stones, black licorice, fennel, and anise seed.

On the palate is a dry, bright, and lively expression, fueled by mouth-watering acidity, with a medium body, medium alcohol (12% ABV), and fine, well-integrated tannins.  It’s lovely!

Cheers to Champagne’s many delicious dimensions!  — 2 years ago

Champagne Cattier – Cuvée Brut Premier Cru N/V
Reims, Champagne – France 🇫🇷

Overview
A Premier Cru blend dominated by 40% Pinot Noir, followed by 32% Chardonnay and 28% Meunier, sourced primarily from the villages of Ludes, Chigny-les-Roses, and Rilly-la-Montagne. A house Champagne that embodies Cattier’s signature style, crafted with 41% reserve wines and aged well beyond the minimum 3 years, showcasing both tradition and depth.

Aromas & Flavors
Lively and elegant, the nose opens with ripe plum, white flowers, and acacia, accented by subtle biscuit notes. On the palate, a mouth-coating wave of brioche and beeswax meets bright lime peel, balanced by a refreshing acidity. The finish lingers gracefully with a nutty undertone and a whisper of chalk.

Mouthfeel
Energetic yet refined, with a fine bead and polished mousse. Dosage at 6 g/L keeps it precise, clean, and perfectly balanced between freshness and roundness.

Winemaking Notes
41% reserve wine gives layered complexity and depth, while extended cellar aging elevates the harmony and finesse beyond the standard.

Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, sashimi, or light seafood starters. Equally delightful alongside soft cheeses or almond-based pastries.

Verdict
A quintessential Cattier expression — fruit-driven, floral, and elegantly textured. Hard to stop at just one glass! Cheers 🥂 — a year ago

The Queen of Ambonnay. A true unicorn, so so rare and it’s in such a killer spot, not at all at the end of its life (I’m sure there can be some bottle variation), but it’s just fantastic tonight, rich, immensely powerful and perfumed with a captivating core of red berry fruit, red roses and a chalky mineral edge providing the most seamless balance to its layers and championing the Ambonnay terroir. A very special bottle that showed perfectly 🙌🏻 — 3 years ago

A little different from the Rosés I drink but pleasant. Soft on the palate with micro oxygenation. Blood orange, we’ll cook rhubarb, poached strawberries, orange & tangerine citrus blend, some white citrus, extremely soft powdery chalkiness, limestone marl, baguette crust, crush rocks, light red & pink florals ( roses), nice acid, well balanced finished fruit & earth. 80% Pinot 20% Chardonnay @ Compline Tasting Bar — 3 years ago

Because it’s Sunday….and celebrating the new baby girl. Mom deserved something good. This fit the bill. More serious champagne than just popping bottles in da club. Strawberry preserves over little mini biscuits. Roses on the nose, fresh strawberries and cream with angel food cake. Bright red hue. — a year ago

Fresh and delicate, with notes of white fruits, pear and peach, fresh apricot and white flowers with roses. Dried fruit aromas reveal it is starting to mature. Lush, generous and creamy. Beautiful exuberance driven by white fruits and lemon zest notes on the finish — 2 years ago

So very pretty in the glass, a typical vibrant Saignée color that we all love. Pure fruit loveliness on the nose with wild strawberries and cherries. Cranberries and roses with fresh herbs. A touch of pepper, a dash of spice, and a dollop of vanilla.

A pure Meunier from Vrigny, aged for three years. Racy and lively, it’s a nicely structured pour. At this age it does lack a little emotion. That special feeling the right wine, or person, can produce. Not quite enough personality…yet. But as we know, time can change that.
