Bourgeois-Diaz

BD'3C Trois Cépages Brut Nature Champagne Blend

🌱 Champagne Bourgeois‑Diaz is a biodynamic grower‑producer in the Marne, crafting champagne with purity, intention, & zero makeup. Husband & wife team, Jérôme & Charlotte, work their vineyards in harmony with nature, while also taking a lower-intervention approach in the winery. 

✨ In this way, each bottle gives voice to the growing environment surrounding their vines.

👁️ Beginning with a vibrant color in the glass, this wine offers a sense of vitality and verve. Glowing hints of gold might speak to a higher proportion of reserve wines in the blend or perhaps the influence of oak (50% oak, 50% stainless steel) in the winemaking process.

👃 The aromas and flavors remind me of apple crisp, quince paste, marzipan, toast, brioche, blanched almond, nougat, lemon curd, white peach, raspberry coulis, papaya skin, chalk, white blossom, wet stones, & oyster shell.

😋 On the palate, this wine is bone dry, with zero dosage, a steely acidity that builds tension with the creamy mousse & mouthfeel, a medium body, medium alcohol, followed by a long, elegant finish.

Domaine du Pavillon Clos des Ursulines Pommard Pinot Noir 2020

2020 vintage. Last tasted 11.20.24 (9.3). Staff Burgundy tasting. PNP. Medium-medium heavy body. Cola, rhubarb, blackberry nose. Tremendous, back-end, finishing power but first 2/3rd's underwhelming. We'll see where it is in a year. 2.17.26. — 3 months ago

They don’t make ‘em like they use to. This wine is magic. Had this vintage a decade ago and it was spectacular then, still spectacular now pushing 30. — 3 months ago
