Nice Burgundy sparkler while watching the Euro 2024 final! — a year ago
Here we have the Benoit Lahaye ‘Blanc de Noirs’ – a non-vintage white bubbly made with 100% Pinot Noir, representing a blend of two parcels in Bouzy (Vaux-Bétins & Raies Tortues), each contributing a unique personality to the cuvée.
Harking back to more traditional winemaking methods, it was barrel-fermented naturally & bottled without filtration.
It has a pale gold hue w/ expressive aromas & flavors of baked red apple, cider, raspberry, fruit cake, lemon curd, cherry blossom, toast, clove, cinnamon, pastry, almond paste, and nougat next to chiseled mineral & wet stone notes.
With an ‘extra brut’ dosage (5g of sugar/L), this wine is bone dry, with a fine-beaded, creamy mousse, that is nicely balanced by a racy acidity. It has a kinetic energy & persistent finish. It’s absolutely delicious.
Who ever said you can’t sip bubbles on a Monday night?
I believe every day is worth celebrating in one form or another. Plus, this counts as studying for our WSG Champagne Masters class. Also, it’s Eiffel Tower Day!!

This Malbrc red wine has the aroma of blackberry and blueberry fruits, with a slightly spicy on the finish.
Definitely enjoy it with red meat, like any steaks or slightly spicy Asian dishes. — a year ago
