Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2008 Special Club pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing and somewhat shy but there’s citrus, white peach, brioche and a rather fascinating smell that reminded me of a built-up roof. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose however here, it’s much richer and expansive. The finish is long. Young? Probably. Drink now through 2038. No disgorgement data. — 8 months ago

#Remembrance #Love 6/25.

Sofia loved Penguins. We played w/ them in Dubai and she also skied indoor while I had a spot of Champagne and watched from a very big window. Only in Dubai. They have to build things of that nature…cus w/o them…just a bunch of sand. — a year ago

Still young, big bubble. A BB that smells like a BB. It's good but I think too expensive for what you get. But maybe it is just really young. — 5 years ago

THAT COLOR!!! 👀
Here is the Larmandier-Bernier Rosé de Saignée made from a blend of old vine Pinot Noir (90%) and Pinot Gris (10%) sharing a vineyard parcel in the Premier Cru Village of Vertus, in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne. 🍾🥂

That deep pink color is a hallmark of the saignée / maceration method used to make rosé wine, where the crushed grape juice stays in contact with dark colored grape skins for an extended period of time, extracting those color compounds into the juice.

The longer the period of maceration, the deeper the hue. Here the juice macerated on the skins for 2-3 days! No wonder it’s such a vibrant hue!! 😍

These bubbles are extra brut with only 2 g/l in dosage, so very dry and crisp on the palate …. But the juicy red fruit character fills your mouth and lends a generous profile with robust notes of dark cherry clafoutis, stewed strawberry, raspberry, lemon, white peach, white tea, biscuit, and white blossom. The mousse is creamy and persistent.

This is a delicious wine from an amazing grower-producer (RM) we were fortunate to visit in 2021, where we learned a lot about their biodynamic, and meticulous, practices starting in the vineyard to the cellar to the bottle.

Cheers to wine moments that leave a last a lasting impression on the palate! Santé 🥂 — 10 months ago
