La Closerie Fac-simile Extra Brut Pinot Meunier Rosé Champagne 2017

Don’t mind the label! Easily, along with Selosse, my favorite Rosé. IMO, there’s those two and then everyone else. Probably a common consensus. I love the bracing acidity and tension that compliments the super rich strawberry & raspberry fruit, chalky minerality and sea spray salinity. There’s superb midpalate intensity and density, that’s concluded with a finish that just doesn’t let up. It will certainly age very well, but it’s so enjoyable now. Begs for a Burgundy glass. — 5 years ago

I love his La Closerie but haven’t had the rosé. Have you tried Ulysse Collin’s rosé? Extremely unique and very vinous. Toes the line between red burgundy and rosé champagne.

Im giving this one an even 9.0.
I can’t even it’s magic in a bottle nor an evening wine. But this wine is super good with a mellow cigar and goes down well. Not much bitterness or savory

Les Pierrières Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay

Skvele, ciste, plnejsi, krasna kyselinka. Vyborne. Pierrières is a 1.2 ha vineyard located in the village of Vert-Toulon. In Pierrières, the chalk in the vineyard is extremely close to the surface and mixed with black silex.

Pierrières is powerful, racy and penetratingly complex. It covers an incredibly wide range, from layers of citrus to stone fruits, stony minerality, smoke and herbs. There’s an amazing radiant expansiveness to the wine. Olivier Collin začal v Congy vinařit tak, že v roce 2003 obnovil 4,5 ha vinic, které jeho rodina pronajímala. Koupil si starý traktor, pluhy a začal kultivovat zemi. Poté zakoupil použité burgundské sudy. Vinařskému umění se učil u Anselma Selosse, na vinici používá organické přípravky a postupy, všechna svá vína fermentuje alkoholicky i malolakticky spontánně v 220l dubových sudech, nefiltruje je ani nečiří. Dosage drží na hranici Extra Brut nebo ji nepřidává.Terroir Côtes de Sézanne je zcela unikátní, neboť v křídovém masívu se skrývají uhlíkaté formy pazourku a onyxu. Toto podloží je zcela ojedinělé v celé Champagni. Dnes Olivier obhospodařuje 8,75 ha vinic, nicméně roční produkce činí pouze 30 000 lahví.

Vinařství ULYSSE COLLIN produkuje autentická, jednoodrůdová vína, která jsou zastoupena jen v těch nejlepších podnicích světa. Olivierova vína jsou neuvěřitelně harmonická, charakterní a věrně v sobě odrážejí vinice, ze které pocházejí.

Aphros

Loureiro Bruto Reserva White Blend 2009

Deep gold, like burnished gold leaf, the Aphros Loureiro Reserva Bruto 2009 boasts an oxidative quality that reminds me of Jacques Selosse Champagnes. Decidedly autumnal aromas of baked apple and poached pear are enlivened by a dried orange top note. In the mouth, it's all soul and soil, sensually earthy layers and leesy wet dough flavors are bolstered by vivid white grapefruit, saline and iodine that make up the arching spine of this unexpectedly delicious sparkling Loureiro. 12.0% ABV | Sample — 10 years ago

La Closerie Les Béguines Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier 2014

Very yeasty on the nose with Granny Smith Apple notes and pronounced minerality. 94% Pinot Meunière 2% Pinot Gris, 2% Chardonnay, and 2% Pinot Noir. Wild fermented and aged 10 months in barrels; 2.5grams/Litre dosage. Only 13,000 bottles made so it is difficult to source in Australia. Consumed this Champagne in Zalto Burgundy glasses like I had been advised to do with Jacques Selosse, a close colleague of Jerome Prevost. As both of these producers say these are wines first and Champagnes second so why not Burgundy glasses. Finishes very dry with cleansing acid. LC14 - year of harvest. Good and different. — 7 years ago

Between the top three Champagne I can afford, it has always been. Zalto glasses are a must, once you try them you can't go back

@Ceccherini Cristiano Yes traditional champagne flutes may look good with the bubbles rising up but they make judging the Champagne difficult IMO. There appears to be a trend towards more traditional wine glasses when drinking Champagne.

@Bob McDonald I personally started drinking Champagne in standard shape glass about 15 years ago
It is indeed a spectacular wine and then a fizzy one. And if you are lucky enough you will meet again an evolution after it loses the bubble with time. Then you deeply realize you've always dealt with a wine

Wine first, bubbly second. Very vinous and slightly oxidative, showing the Selosse influence. Geeky, heady, complex, rich, fascinating. Loved drinking this, though much more on an intellectual level than for pure pleasure. — 9 years ago
