You didn’t think this wasn’t making an encore appearance after last weekend did you?
This n/v oxidative leaning styled Champange speaks better to the pairing than the more reductive styled Launois Champagne last weekend. Not that the reductive wasn’t really good. It’s a yin & yang thing that makes this Champagne pairing more suitable.
What a dessert pair!!! Waited too long to make happen. Make sure you do it during high apple season.
Intermixed sips of 2015 White Burgundy doesn’t hurt either.

Oh my. Maybe 2013 was overlooked but this excels.

Oct 12th, 2020First time experience with this producer.
The nose reveals, bruised; red & golden apple, Bosc pear, overripe stone fruit & pineapple, lemon meringue, touch cider, nougat, almonds, cream to cream soda, hints of melted white butter, melted golden brown sugar, vanillin, sea fossil, crumbled, grey volcanics, chalky power, bread dough to yeast, limestone, understated limestone minerals, spring flowers, jasmine & withering white lilies.
The mouthfeel is rich, lively with excellent mousse. Quite beautiful. Bruised; red & golden apple, Bosc pear, overripe stone fruit & pineapple, lemon meringue, touch cider, nougat, almonds, cream to cream soda & ginger ale, hints of melted white butter, melted golden brown sugar, vanillin, sea fossil, crumbled, grey volcanics, chalky power, bread dough to yeast, hints of coconut with shell, white spice with just the right amount of heat, limestone, understated limestone minerals, spring flowers, jasmine & withering white lilies. The acidity is excellent. The finish is; well balanced & polished, elegant & simply near perfect finish. She is excellent wire to wire.
This is for you if you enjoy a Champagne that leans more oxidative.
@Paul T- Huntington Beach The mid picture to the right is what is seriously lacking in Ultramarine’s.
Photos of; The Champagne House of Pierre Paillard, Antoine Paillard, the beautiful Chalkiness from their Les Maillerettes Vineyard that only Champange can really deliver & one of their Grand Cru Vineyards.

Full, nicely rounded, and completely satisfying, not to say excellent value.

Slight nose of a medium toast barrel almost vinous. Apple, green pear very fine bubbles and a serious side in the finish. 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay Disgorged 11/2018 dosage 1.8gr/L TBL

Apr 14th, 2020Very nice. A little more acid than the 2013 which I thought was a little creamier. Good sipping and food bubbly. 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay. Disgorged 11/2018. Dosage 1.8gr/L. TBL
