Very complete, excellent vertical linear flow and shape with a generosity, love the weighting and persistance, a little chalky phenolics, and perhaps just a little oak influence. Great development pre bottling with a delicacy in the lees work and a resolved comfort.

R.Pouillon ‘Solera’ 1997-2016 NV II

Blend | Vallée de la Marne, Champagne

When I was making wine at Yarra Yering we used a Solera barrel of Chardonnay in the liqueur d'expedition for the fizz. The depth, length, and, complexity of this wine with those Oxy notes was a great foil to the richness in the base wines.Fascinating to see what happend to wines made of quality fruit when you age them for extended periods in wood.

A stunning full-flavoured Blanc de Blanc.  Exceptional depth and length with the hallmark mid-palate weight Benoît Marguet elicits from quality fruit with clever winemaking. Such is the quality of the fruit, everyone I drink a Marguet village wine with is in disbelief when they find out the wine is Zero does.100% Chardonnay from Vinegrower: Laurent Vauversin in Avize in the Grand Cru heart of the Côte des Blancs.

Disgorged June 2023. Complantée comes from a single parcel in Avize that Agrapart co-planted (complantée) with six varieties: Pinot Noir, Meunier, Chardonnay and the heirloom Champagne varieties of Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc. Chardonnay accounts for one-quarter of the blend, with the remainder split equally between the other five varieties. The vines are all in the Fosse vineyard, the same site that gives us the great Vénus cuvée (the name of the specific vineyard parcel w

R.Pouillon Reserve Brut MAGNUM NV

Blend | Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Avenay-Val-d'Or

The perfect introduction to Pouillon's wines, yet, far from an entry level. The gives you a peak into just how much personality and vitality his wines have. Balancing a hint of oxidative character with delicious fruit with great length and depth. The Reserve Brut represents a little splash of fruit across most of Pouillon's holdings. The blend of Pinot, Meunier and Chardonnay is expertly integrated. Fabrice truly gets élévage. This is an incredibly complex, layered and beautiful Champagne. Suc

Blend | Vallée de la Marne, Champagne

Notes on the 2012:This is superb. So fine and delicious. Such harmony is not common, the Pinot and Chardonnay are playing together beautifully. It has just the right level of oxidative vinosity, so well supported by a core of fruit that has great length and depth. I keep coming back the the harmony, layers of complexity and balance. Will the Pinot seems to be the dominant, as would be expected in the front and mid-palate, the line and length from the Chardonnay and the mineral nature to this

R.Pouillon ‘Les Valnons’ Grand Cru Aÿ 2013

Chardonnay | Vallée de la Marne, Aÿ

A divine, powerful, Blanc de Blanc from Aÿ, typically a Pinot village. Superb poise, incredible mouthfeel, long and fine. Incredible complexity, this builds in a big glass revealing layer after layer of fruit, patisserie notes, lightly toasted almond, and gentle, refined oxidative hints. This is benchmark gear. It's hard to believe it's only 12% alcohol such is the depth and length of flavour. The Méthod Fabrice Pouillon & 5 years on lees offers us up a seamless wine with wonderful shape,

Fruit from 'Les Crayères' makes its way into some of Champagnes very best wines. It's the source of Egly-Ouriets Blanc de Noir! A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir this year, Marguet's 2015 Ambonnay Grand Cru Les Crayères is showing especially well, mingling aromas of pear and waxy citrus rind with notions of vanilla pod and toasted almonds. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's chiseled and penetrating, with a pearly mousse and a saline, mineral finish. Only two lieux-dits were produc

Agrapart Grand Cru Minéral Blanc de Blancs 2015
Pure & Precise!
If you think it's good now (hot tip 🔥IT IS) give it another 1-5 years in bottle and you'll see a 🦋emerge! Disgorged July 2021. Minéral is blended from two adjacent vieilles vignes plots (50-plus years old) on the border between Avize and Cramant, where the vine roots plunge straight into the chalky bedrock. The fruit from Le Champ Bouton in Avize was fermented in tank, while the component from Bionnes in Cramant was vinified in 600-litre oak casks. The wine spent just over five ye

Chardonnay | Vallée de la Marne, Aÿ

Valnon makes a stunning Blanc de Blanc. Unusual to see Chardonnay grown on a Grand Cru site in Aÿ, a village known for its Pinot Noir. Great power, the incredible intensity of fruit is a clear sign of just how good the vineyard and winemaking are. As with all of Frabrice's wines the mouthfeel and harmony are exceptional. A profound statement in a glass.
