Notes of plum, earth, soy sauce. I thought tannins were still fairly pronounced but not rough. Lovely pairing with our smoked abalone and black cod….. — 3 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

Kicking off with this bottle to start a night is putting in a cheat code for a game. Layers and layers of flavors. Pears, apricot compote, yeasty goodness and more. #primetimewinetime #右上の会 — 8 years ago

Pretty picture of the vineyard with all those hills in the background and sign that it was formed in 1815 the year of Waterloo. That's impressive. Tradition that is. Wine complements the food. Food complements the wine. The acidity is not overwhelming. We tend to complicate things in the US. — 9 years ago

Was a great surprise that this bottle was so in the zone. Some matchstick upon opening, but evolved to show vanilla, orange zest, tropical fruit and ample spice and acid. One of best bottles of Bize have consumed. — 3 years ago

This wine has a really crisp and zippy acidity that really punctuates your taste buds and cleanses the palate.

Took me a few mins to realize I was drinking Chardonnay.

Savigny-les-Beaune Pinot Noir 2017

Really a wonderful Burgundy for the always reliable (and now quite pricey) Bize. This 17 Savigny is in a great spot. High toned, balanced, refreshing acids, good mix of earth and fruit. Perfect pairing with the classic Sunday roast chicken with mushrooms. Tonight drinking better and more enjoyable than the several premier crus we have enjoyed from him in the past few years. — 3 years ago
