René Geoffroy Empreinte Blanc de Noirs 2017

This Champagne bears the hallmark of the Pinot Noir variety from the heart of the Cumières Terroir. We aim to offer the best expression of Pinot Noir from several different plots of the Terroir each year. This Champagne owes its complexity and its substance to the chalky clay soil and then reveals an elegance that typifies the great Terroirs. Soil: clay and chalk, with fragments of flint; a selection of very early-ripening plots above Cumières (Barremonts, Demoiselles, Houtrants) Average age of the vines: 30 years Blending: 100% Pinot Noir Dosage: 3 g/l Geoffroy's Blanc de Noirs matured on the yeast for six years. The varietal Pinot Noir has a subtle character with multilayered aromatics. Highly elegant and fine fruity, powerful presence on the palate, red and yellow raspberries, fresh citrus notes, very fine bubbles, mineral finish with wonderful length. Nicola OKT23 VT16: The current Empreinte has a radiant, powerful character, is very lively and present, with great Pinot expression. VINIFICATION: Harvested and sorted by hand; pressed on a traditional Coquard wine press; only the cuvée (first juice of the pressing) is selected; vinification plot-by-plot to 80% in tuns, demi-muid casks and barrels. Avoidance of malolactic fermentation.TASTING: On the nose, a coated, flattering bouquet of a complex palette of aromas of red fruits; airy, bright and vigorous in the mouth. Boasting great freshness, generous doses of strawberry andredcurrant dictate, punctuated by hints of fragrant flowers, such as peonies. It maintains a beautiful balance with a persistent finish. PAIRING: By virtue of its power, this Champagne Empreinte complements the expressive flavours ofgastronomic cooking remarkably well. Bresse chicken with morel mushrooms, quail with grapesor a fricassee of forest mushrooms harmonise perfectly with this Champagne Empreinte, servedat 11-12° C.

Alexandre Salmon Les Bariolles 2017

100% Pinot Meunier Dosage: 0g/lFermented and aged for 20 months in Barrique4,5 years bottle ageing Single cru: Les BariollesAbout the bottle design: THE ARTIST Born in Compiègne in 1991, Laura Ozymko lives and creates in Reims. A painter and draughtswoman since 2018, her universe is inspired by the aesthetics of classical sculpture and expresses the ambivalence of human feelings through phobias. THE WORK According to Greek mythology, the Charites: Euphrosyne (Joy), Aglaé (Splendour) and Thalie (Abandonment) are the three daughters of Zeus and Eurynomé, a sea nymph. These divinities, capable of bestowing a gift on Humanity, were part of the procession of Apollo, Aphrodite and Dionysus. The entirely handmade work Χάρις (Charis / Grace) presents an artistic study of Antonio Canova's Three Graces, a masterpiece of European neoclassical sculpture, from a new angle. The three goddesses are the perfect representation of beauty, grace and movement. Nestled in the depths of white Carrara marble, this celestial combination calls to mind a timeless ideal of Art. In myth, the Three Graces may never have featured prominently, but in art they have become the protagonists of countless works. Muses, they have represented the ideal of feminine beauty for every era and every artist for over 2,500 years.

Benoît Lahaye Violaine 2017 - Bio

50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir Dosage: 0g/l Vinification in wooden barrels 3 years bottle aging Unfiltered, unsulphurized Slightly smoky notes, energetic and powerful! Peter Liem: In the 2008 vintage, Lahaye began making a sans soufre champagne, called Violaine. Made of equal parts chardonnay and pinot noir, this comes from two adjacent parcels of 20-year-old vines on the border of Bouzy and Tauxières: the chardonnay is planted on the Tauxières side, in the west-facing vineyard of Les Argentières, while the pinot noir is from Les Monts des Tours on the Bouzy side, which is more southerly in exposition, with a more gentle slope. In the first vintage, Lahaye fermented with selected yeasts rather than native ones: "In the first year," he says, "I wanted to see the real effects of vinification without sulfur, and I didn't want to risk the variability of indigenous yeasts." Satisfied with his progress, he has fermented subsequent editions with native yeasts; the wine is made entirely without added sulfur from start to finish, and left on its lees until July, with no racking until bottling. While Violaine has always come from a single harvest, it hasn’t been released as a vintage-dated champagne, although this will change beginning with the 2013 or 2014 release.

Marie Courtin Efflorescence 2017 MAGNUM - Bio

100% Pinot Noir Dosage: Extra Brut Barrel fermentation, followed by maturation in barrique for 9-10 months. Bottled in spring. The fruit comes from the same site as Resonance and thus shows the same distinctive terroir and minerality. The difference between the two Champagnes thus lies primarily in the barrel influence. When all runs well, oak provides well-made Champagne with a more complex and nuanced character. Rather than standing in the spotlight, the barrel here supports from the wings. It stabilizes and smooths the individual components into a stunning and balanced whole.
