Cuvée Tradition Brut Ambonnay Champagne Blend

Wow. Notes to come but one of the best qpr champagnes I’ve had in recent memory.

We’ve been drinking a bottle of bubbles every night because it’s Em’s birthday week and also for good luck as we wait to hear back on the offer we made on a house. In this upside-down world I think this makes sense

80/20 Pinot/Chard. 60% from 2013 and reserve wine. Chalky esp on the palate. Brioche, toast, dried apricot, applesauce, baked pear, lime, red cherry, red plum, Meyer lemon, ginger/honey. Racy acidity, bitter finish. 12% abv. 5 g/L RS.

Lots of apple on the nose, very round very enjoyable small grower champagne.

Fresh and bright. Pretty.... not a profound wine but bright, Even, and enjoyable

Tremendous value for artisanal Champagne with world-class terroir. Loaded with chalk!

Way over delivers under $40... grand cru fruit. Toasty, yeasty nose with raspberry, orange blossom and creme brûlée on the nose. Full bodied but with excellent definition. Top notch

75 PN 25 CH, 7g/L dosage, 1/2017 disgorgement, SS and full malo. Ripe, exuberant, brimming with autolysis notes. Baked apple, tangelo, strawberry candy, brioche, pastry cream, sweet spices, subtle minerality. A juicy and aromatic NV cuvée that’s pure joy in the glass

A blend of 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, with full malolactic fermentation. Fruit aromas with floral and biscuit scents. On the palate peach and red berry flavors with tangy citrus. Smooth lingering finish ending with chalky mineral tones. Good value.

Easy to drink, red fruits galore, blind I would have guessed a rose. The higher dosage was more apparent in the company this was poured with but still pretty low at 6g/l. Ripe fruit and 100% Malo add more perceptible fruitiness and density. Mostly 2012 base wine with a small percentage of reserve wines. 70 PN - 30 Chard.

Love this stuff
