Nice soft mousse body, yellow peach, tropical melons, pineapple, some lemon meringue, lime zest, slightly bitter apple cider, whipped cream, hard chalkiness, alluvial limestone, saline, sea fossils, bread crust, yeastiness, yellow florals, racey acidity, nicely balanced & structured with a finish that lasts 90 seconds.

Needs a few more years in bottle. — a year ago

Another beautiful champagne from the Launois family. A pale old gold color with nice perlage and intensity. Freshly baked bread and green apple aromas for days. Melons and white peaches with herbs for good measure. There’s an innate sense of lemon zest in the air that’s just magnificent.

Pure Grand Cru Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger. Four years of aging on lees gives this a resplendent and stately nature. Nice acidity and a superb mouthfeel, especially on the second day. Apples and chalk on the palate alongside vibrant citrus fruits. I struggle to think of a better value in Champagne than this. Stock up. — 7 months 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 🥂 — 4 months ago

Disg. 2/14…Always my favorite of the Lieux-Dits and without question one of the very best Blanc de Blancs Champagnes on the planet, it’s particularly special to have with some bottle age. It’s stunning today, rich and powerful with crazy depth to its layers with a deep, complex core of caramelized orchard fruit, roasted nuts, old rum barrels and candied white flowers, all seamlessly integrated. The palate is generous and detailed, with racy acids, waves of saline laced, chalky Le Mesnil minerals and a finish that stays with you. A BdB benchmark for my tastes. — 10 months ago

Single vineyard "Les Belles Voyes" in the famous Grand Cru hillside of Oger. Pale lemon with fine creamy mousse and tiny rapid bubble flow, long lees aging. aromas stone fruits and blossom, bread dough and citrus. On the palate flavors of golden apple, peach, lemon citrus and honeysuckle with biscuit toast and nutty notes. Long finish, full-body ending with biscuit, mineral and citrus character. Outstanding! — 4 years ago
