The so called child of the mountain is a blend of the several crus from the Montagne de Reims.

Partial malo-lactic fermentation on “vins de réserve”.

Tilman FEB24 (Base 2022): Lean and fresh at first, reminiscent of ripe citrus fruits, the complex finish has a nutty spice. Vibrant and exciting.

Moritz FEB24 (Base 2022): The slightly darker color already indicates maturity. Light spice, but fresh, zesty, and slightly yellow-fruited. On the palate, it's very dense and powerful. The perlage is very straightforward. The taste very much reflects the nose. The finish is very long, and a slight marzipan aftertaste remains. A very strong release!

Nicola FEB24 (Base 2022): An extremely strong release, complex, spicy, with roast notes, body, herbal, exciting.

Nicola & Moritz FEB24 (Base 2019): Leaner, more floral, more playful than the 22 Base, balanced, acidity well integrated.

Lukas FEB23 (base vintage 2018): On the nose ripe notes, mainly apple and some fine cherry fruit. In the mouth full-bodied and juicy, mainly apple and red fruit (cherry) on the palate, nice balance between fruitiness and juicy freshness.

Lukas FEB23 (base vintage 2017): On the nose riper notes, some yeasty notes and some red fruit, especially cherry. In the mouth juicy, backed by a fine acidity that provides a nice freshness in the background.

Tasting Aug22 Moritz: On the Nose we have (over)ripe red apples and fresh green olives, which gives this champagne a nice balance between fruit and freshness. Taste: Fresh, lively, complex basic champagne with structure!
