L'Ouverture Petite Montagne 1er Cru Brut Pinot Noir
Champagne, France
Intense and opulent with and aromatic, candy like aroma which is sort of “simple”. Way better of the palate, even though the 7 grams of RS is very obvious. Juicy finish with great purity but no real complexity. Fair length. Degorged Oct-17.

Fascinating wine. So much going on. Super vinous, even cidery. Gold in the glass, a little oxidative, looong finish. Some subtle green flavors, a leafy wild herbal thing. Deep, tooth tingling acid, but mature, white balsamic-type acid. Yeasty but long-fermented sourdough type yeasty. Madeleines and lemon marmelade. Enjoy this with rich food, like roast game bird. Or Cheetos. We paired it with Cheetos. Deg sept 2019.

A great Blanc de Noir from one of the more reasonably priced growers, structured and expressive with ripe pear, raspberry and crisp yellow apple with a chalky minerality.

Pale gold with coppery overtones. Aromas of yellow apple and pear. On the palate the fruit is complimented by a chalky minerality, focused acidity, and a clean finish with only 12% alcohol. Made from 100% Pinot Noir sourced from clay-based souls of Ecueil then fermented half in mostly neutral barrels and half in stainless steel with dosage of 7 g/L. This is their entry level non-vintage bottling made from a blend of three successive vintages. $50.
