La Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend 1612

Pale gold in color. Fine bubbles feed a persistent mousse. A delicate nose with hints of fresh citrus and white flowers. The wine’s complexity is expressed in successive notes like vine peach and white fruits notes. A perfect balance between freshness and delicacy with fruity flavors very present on the finish — 10 days ago

Rosé de Saignée 1er Cru Champagne Pinot Noir

THAT COLOR!!! 👀
Here is the Larmandier-Bernier Rosé de Saignée made from a blend of old vine Pinot Noir (90%) and Pinot Gris (10%) sharing a vineyard parcel in the Premier Cru Village of Vertus, in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne. 🍾🥂

That deep pink color is a hallmark of the saignée / maceration method used to make rosé wine, where the crushed grape juice stays in contact with dark colored grape skins for an extended period of time, extracting those color compounds into the juice.

The longer the period of maceration, the deeper the hue. Here the juice macerated on the skins for 2-3 days! No wonder it’s such a vibrant hue!! 😍

These bubbles are extra brut with only 2 g/l in dosage, so very dry and crisp on the palate …. But the juicy red fruit character fills your mouth and lends a generous profile with robust notes of dark cherry clafoutis, stewed strawberry, raspberry, lemon, white peach, white tea, biscuit, and white blossom. The mousse is creamy and persistent.

This is a delicious wine from an amazing grower-producer (RM) we were fortunate to visit in 2021, where we learned a lot about their biodynamic, and meticulous, practices starting in the vineyard to the cellar to the bottle.

Cheers to wine moments that leave a last a lasting impression on the palate! Santé 🥂

Les Vignes De Vrigny 1er Cru Brut Pinot Meunier Champagne

Reinforced my obsession with Pinot Meunière…. Almonds, fresh brioche, ripe pear and a hint of (banana?). Balance is impressive and not an acid-monster. My only negative is how the price keeps climbing. Happy turkey day y’all. — 24 days ago
