A lively conversation ensued around the Jean Vesselle Bouzy Champagne Cuvée Friandise Demi-Sec Rosé, a debate centered not on this wine's formidable 32 g/l dosage, but rather it's dark crimson color, which Delphine Vesselle insists is pink. Wafting aromas of cherry clafoutis, raspberry purée, rose petals and a faint smoky edge. The attack is more delicate than I'd imagined, with red fruit at the center, carried aloft by a fine mousse and pleasant savoriness. Lot 30854 | Sample — 9 years ago

80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay

Grand Cru fruit.

30 plus year old vines, 30 months on lees.

Whoa, mama. I love what Delphine Vesselle has been up to. Completely organic farming techniques are used. 27 acres on the property, 25 of which are Grand Cru Bouzy.

Plums and bright juicy fruit dominate here with refreshing acidity and an elegant bead. — 11 years ago

This was the 2002. Patrick Arnould's Carte d'Or takes a number of years to develop. He trades red wine to Delphine Cazals for the 50% Mesnil Chardonnay in this wine, and uses old Verzenay Pinot from his estate for the other half. It takes a while for these top quality ingredients to marry in the bottle, but if you can wait the aged wine is as good as anything. Nutella like hazelnut richness is seamlessly joined to crackling chalk 13 years later! — 10 years ago
