H. Billiot Cuvée Julie 2016

50% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay Dosage: 6g/l 6 month in oak barrels In 1999 the house created its second Tête de Cuvée, named for Laetitia's daughter, Julie. It is created from equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Usually a single vintage champagne, although it is not marked as such on the label. The barrel-matured cuvée has a distinctive and individual character. Pairs beautifully with many meat dishes, smoked foods, and flavorful dishes — often called a "fireplace champagne."

Labruyère Paradoxe Blanc de Noirs 2016 Brut Nature

100% Pinot Noir Dosage 0g/l From the plots: Les Champs Saint-Martin, L'Espérance 5 years of bottle agingNicola OCT24: Straightforward, berry fruit, dark fruit. Elegant, puristic, but profound aromas, very fine spiciness from the wood ageing, long nutty finish.Tilman OCT24: Initially somewhat reductive and closed, but then opens up quickly. Slightly bitter, even more profound than Anthologie, structured, fresh, clear and mineral!Fabio OCT24: Somewhat closed, with more air comes fine red fruitiness, citrus peel, chalky, straightness runs through, very complex, strong finish. Giuseppe Lauria Chedredaktion Editor-in-Chief APR23: Beautiful, radiant rose gold. Characterful appearance with a wide-ranging bouquet with raspberries, red fruits tossed in butter, the finest butter pastries, all accompanied by saline undertones, a touch of Williams pear resonates. Powerful, masculine but with a lot of enamel. The mousseux is very juicy and gives the champagne an invigorating freshness and subtle tension right through to the long, tart, fresh finale. 18/20 –2030 Nicola MAI22: Strongly vibrant, long, nice wood influence, complex! Paula Bosch SEP22: This single-varietal Pinot Noir was pressed white, given 5 years to mature in the bottle and bottled without dosage. The result is a very spicy, uncompromising, bone-dry Champagne with a salty note, a powerhouse with great character. If you are looking for a link to Burgundy in Champagne J.M. Labruyere, you have the best example with Paradoxe. Despite the tremendous richness in the mouth - a whole cello concerto takes place here - each sip remains in harmony and balance, without corners and edges, the fine, compact mousse caresses the palate. The animating acidity makes the Paradoxe an ideal food companion from caviar to langoustine, Breton turbot in Beurre Blanc with morels to a zabaglione with crepes and caramel ice cream. What distinguishes this champagne is its seasoning full of character. Moritz OCT22: The beautiful rose gold is radiant in the glass. The paradox is characterized by an angular dark berry fruit. The mousseux is very juicy and gives the champagne a pleasant freshness. The finish is long and slightly tart, which gives the wine even more excitement.

Antonio Galloni Vintage 2014 – 95P: This brings together so many of the elements that makes these Champagnes so distinctive. There is plenty of freshness, power and volume. Old vines in Cramant, Chouilly and Cuis confer palatable richness and feeling of gravitas that is impossible to miss. At the same time, there is a touch of translucence that is so alluring.

It stands out for its natural power and its mineral expression such as smoky, graphite and flint notes. With 12 hectares of Grand Cru, we have never elaborated a cuvée 100 % Grand Cru. Our champagne winemaking philosophy has always pushed us to add a touch of « Cuis 1er cru » to bring freshness in our great vintages because we prefer harmony to intensity. Since the vintage 2012, we have decided to expand our range; the iconic “Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay” is completed by 3 “single terroirs” in very limited quantities. These “single terroir” Champagnes are the exceptions that confirm the rule.Tasting: JUN21: wonderfully chalky on the nose, subtle, unobtrusive scent, nothing fruitful. Clear and sparkling clean start, firm structure - but without excessive severity, deep, definitely has body and power. Not for soft drinkers, but for the advanced connoisseur who wants to taste the terroir in his glass.

What’s everyone talking about with these micro-terroir wines? There’s also a Cramant wine for which the jury’s out. But this will be interesting! Disg. 3/17 it is 100% Montaigu (planted in 1951), picked 9/21 and not chaptalized.

Larmandier-Bernier Terre de Vertus 2017 - Bio

100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l No blending for this single-cru Champagne: Chardonnays only, coming from the vineyard plots of Les Barillers and Les Faucherets situated mid-slope in Vertus, facing south-east. One terroir only and one vintage only. Vinification and maturation: The natural alcoholic fermentation (natural yeast) and the malolactic fermentation begin spontaneously in our casks, our wooden vats and our stainless-steel tanks. The wines are left on their natural lees for nearly a year and undergo gentle bâtonnages, but no filtering or fining. If the year merits it, this cuvée will be bottled in July without any blend with other years - it is a vintage - or other terroirs - it is a single vineyard. Then the bottles are then taken down into the coolness of our cellars, where the second fermentation and the maturation 'on laths' quietly take place over a period of at least 5 years. Each bottle is disgorged manually 6 months before being marketed. This wine is non dosé (no sugar added), in order to respect its purity from beginning to end. Tasting notes - WineSpectator.com, December 7, 2017 - 91 points: Fresh and floral, this is well-cut and minerally, with finely meshed flavors of apple tarte Tatin, grated ginger, honeycomb and slivered almond. Rich, yet vibrant throughout. - Alison Napjus
