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

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

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 proper sparkling not taking any chances.

Toasty and with intense red apple. Very much like a blanc de noirs, intense and with lots of orchard fruit esp given the chalky palate

Beautiful golden color and subtle initial flavor and then finishes with a nice mix of fruit and a bit of yeasty goodness.

Funky.

From Magnum. Delicious

Red fruits, particularly raspberry and cherry, and a little sourdough yeastiness on the nose. On the palette, the wine is crisp, tart, and clean. More nuances came out with food (in my case, shrimp in tomato sauce). Pretty tasty if you like a red fruit dominant champagne. 75/25% Pinot noir/chardonnay. 12% ABV.
