NV | a tasting at Brabantse Wijn Sociëteit opened my eyes for champagne from the Côtes de Bar, like this one. 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. Made with 20% reserve wine. It’s bouquet is its greatest quality: refinement, brioche, yeast and beautiful fruit like peach and apple. Good acidity. Paired with scrambled eggs breakfast. Merry X-Mas. 🎄🍾 — 2 years ago
Mark Royer's inaugural vintage. Very Burgundian. Clones include Dijon 76, 95, and 548 among others. Elevation 600-700' which is relatively high for OR. Soils are a mix of Ritner, Witzel, Nekia, and Jory of volcanic origin. South and West slopes. Mesoclimate: "Very windy".

Medium-dark clear ruby color; nose of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, raspberries, garden spices, anise; fairly high alcohol and acid, dry, small firm tannins, long elegant finish in a very typical BdM style. I went all-in on the -15s and -16th so my supply of -14s is limited. This one a winner! 🥇 — 3 years ago
