A soft, translucent pink that seemingly disappears at the rim. Fine and tenacious perlage. This really is quite the aesthetically pleasing champagne. On the nose, spice and red berries caress your face and put you in the mood. Honeycomb and peaches mingle with wild strawberries and brioche. Seriously sexy.

Let’s talk about the name of this wine. BA/14/70. From Grand Cru plots in Bouzy and Ambonnay, 2014 vintage with a dosage of 7.0 g/l. Pure Pinot Noir, 90% from Bouzy 10% from Ambonnay A collaboration between Olivier Leflaive of Puligny-Montrachet in Burgundy and Erik de Sousa of Champagne, this is a relatively new label but they’re definitely not rookies. And Burgundy with bubbles is an apt description. Aged in Burgundy barrels and it shows.

Sleek, sultry, and fresh on the tongue. Racy acidity and medium bodied. Kumquats and the tease of fennel. Raspberries, bread, and nuts. Medium long finish with a bit of spice. Has the ability to age a while longer but she’s more than ready right now. Drink up and enjoy.
