Brand: Bollinger
Category: Alcoholic Beverages

From Maison Bollinger, this Special Cuvée is probably one of the most representative wines. This cuvée is the result of a skillful and delicate blending between a small proportion of vintage wine and a majority of reserve wines, including those aged in bottles for more than 15 years on the winery premises. Once the cuvée is created, the wine matures for no less than three years on the lees before being degorged with the addition of the liqueur d'expédition, in this case made from the same wines used in the blend, to maintain the most absolute stylistic consistency. A curiosity. As is often the case, dégorgement is mechanized. In Bollinger's case, however, an innovative machine is used that injects an inert gas inside the bottles as they are uncorked, preventing oxygen from penetrating and allowing a very low amount of sulfur dioxide to be used. In the glass, you discover a wine characterized by a beautiful golden yellow color, with fine, uninterrupted bubbles. Notes of ripe fruit, spices and candied apples are clearly discernible on the nose. Then biscuit and pastry notes. In the mouth it is immediately recognizable. Creamy and perfectly balanced by fresh acidity, it evokes notes of ripe fruit, such as pear, brioche and slightly spicy spices. Balanced between structure, power and liveliness. A decidedly gastronomic Champagne, it is difficult to put it on the table. From Parmesan to aged Pata Negra. From shellfish to sushi and sashimi, this wine always knows how to impress.

Brand: Laurent-perrier
Category: Alcoholic Beverages

Champagne of great finesse and beautiful freshness that comes from only the best grapes harvested by Laurent-Perrier, and expertly crafted through long cellar aging before disgorging. This, in essence, is La Cuvée, Champagne Brut. But let's start with the blend, which in this case, as typical for the Maison, includes a large proportion of Chardonnay. Over 50%. To which Pinot Noir, 30 to 35 percent, and Meunier for the remainder is added. As with all "non-vintage," a certain percentage of the wines used in making the cuvée come from the Maison's reserves. In this specific case, the proportion of wines from previous vintages varies from a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 30 percent, depending on the vintage. The choice of a high percentage of Chardonnay is the basis of Laurent-Perrier's style and personality. After blending, the wine is bottled for frothing and is aged on its lees for no less than 4 years in the cellar. After disgorgement, then, the Champagne is finished with a low dosage that enhances its balance and freshness. In the glass, it is a refined pale gold color, with a particularly fine perlage that feeds a rich, very persistent foam. The nose is delicate, with aromas of fresh citrus and white flowers. As the minutes pass, however, it also reveals itself to be a particularly complex wine, with notes of ripe sweet fruit and a subtle hint of yeast and bread crust. In the mouth it is balanced and very fresh. A Champagne of great pleasantness that can be appreciated on a thousand occasions. Perfect for an aperitif, the maison's technicians also suggest it in combination with delicate white meat and fish dishes. Great with a fresh salmon or tuna tartare.

A Blanc de Noirs from Champagne. So a sparkling wine, classic method, white but made from black grapes. Cuvée Christiane, from Maison Cheurlin Dangin, is made from the vast majority of Pinot Noir grapes from vineyards located in the Aube, south of the Champagne appellation area, in the Ource, Arce and Seine valleys. Different plots, planted on different soils, give the grapes distinctive characters. The bases, in this case, are matured in oak barrels, acquiring greater complexity and depth.

In the glass one discovers a beautiful wine characterised by a brilliant golden yellow colour, with fine bubbles forming uninterrupted chains. The nose reveals a wine with a pleasantly vinous and ripe character, with distinctive aromas of brioche and apple. A slight toasting, due to the passage in wood, gives it a touch of elegance.

Category: Alcoholic Beverages

Among the most representative wines of Maison Paillard is undoubtedly this Champagne Extra Brut Première Cuvée, an emblem of style. Made from a skilful blend of Pinot Noir (45%), Chardonnay (33%) and Pinot Meunier (22%) grapes, this Champagne is a tribute to 35 crus, selected in the Champagne region. Chalky soils give the wines an unmistakable mineral freshness and a cool climate, perfect for the slow and complete development of the grapes. The Extra Brut indication, then, immediately makes us think of a wine characterised by a low dosage of sugar (less than 6 grams per litre), ideal for allowing the wine to express its authenticity to the full. Première Cuvée comes from the first pressing of the grapes and also includes a small percentage (around 20%) that ferments in oak barrels, giving the wine complexity and depth. Reserve wines from as many as 25 vintages dating back to 1985 are also added to the blend, enriching the finished wine with unique nuances and a balanced structure. Maturation is long and patient: the wine rests for three years on the lees, acquiring body and a refined texture, and then spends at least another five months in the cellar after disgorgement to complete its maturation. To the eye, Première Cuvée has a brilliant straw gold colour, enhanced by a very fine and persistent perlage, a sign of the quality of the raw materials and careful processing. On the nose, citrus notes of lime and grapefruit, typical of Chardonnay, are followed by red fruit aromas such as currant and raspberry, reminiscent of Pinot Noir. With time, the more exotic and slightly candied hints of Pinot Meunier emerge, with hints of pineapple. In the mouth, it is extremely fresh and lively thanks to the low dosage of sugars. Notes of citrus fruits, almonds and toast return, along with the sweetness of currants and black fruits such as cherry, fig and blackberry. The wine's structure is ample but not heavy, with a long, clean and harmonious finish. Perfect with sushi and sashimi, it also goes well with shellfish, such as lobster and crab, and roast poultry.

Bruno Paillard's Rosé Première Cuvée is a tribute to the delicacy and vivacity of Pinot Noir. It is born in the Reims area, in the heart of the Champagne region. Here, soils rich in chalk and limestone give the wines a typical mineral freshness and aromatic complexity. Specifically, this Rosé is composed of a majority of Pinot Noir, which gives structure and depth, to which is added a variable percentage of Chardonnay, used to give elegance and freshness to the blend. Pinot Noir is processed in two forms: as Blanc de Noirs, i.e. vinified in white, quickly separating the juice from the skins, and in red, through prolonged maceration of the must on the skins, to acquire its characteristic pink colour and greater intensity of aromas. We then add the reserve wines, carefully selected from 25 vintages dating back to 1985, which can make up to 50% of the final blend. After the first fermentation and blending, the Rosé Première Cuvée matures in the cellar for 36 months in contact with the yeasts, developing complexity and a creamy texture. Then, after disgorgement, the wine rests for a further five months in the cellar to stabilise and reach its full expression. The low dosage ensures freshness, without masking the quality of the grapes and the natural intensity of the flavours. To the eye, this champagne is distinguished by its distinctive colour, a golden copper with hints of raspberry when young, evolving towards more delicate tones of salmon with time. On the nose, it reveals a symphony of fresh red fruit aromas, such as redcurrants and wild strawberries, enhanced by floral touches of rose and violet. A slight hint of lemon, due to the Chardonnay, completes the initial bouquet, while with evolution hints of black fruits such as black cherry, blackberry and fig emerge. In the mouth, the correspondence is almost perfect, with a refined, elegant and persistent finish. It goes well with seafood hors d'oeuvres, such as carpaccio and tuna or salmon tartare, but is also perfect with white meat dishes, such as quail or chicken. It can also accompany not-too-sweet berry-based desserts.

When you think of Maison Philipponnat, you inevitably end up imagining a bottle of this Cuvée Royale Réserve Brut, which probably represents the best expression of the Maison. An important and prized Champagne, it is made from grapes of which about two thirds come from vineyards classified Grand Cru and Premier Cru in the villages of Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay. A particularity concerns the use of reserve wines, those jealously preserved in the cellar to be used in the blending of new sparkling wines. In this case, the assembly of the Cuvée Royale Réserve foresees the use of about 20-30% of wines preserved according to the tradition of the Maison in wooden barrels using the Solera method. This, together with the slow maturation of three years on the lees before dégorgement, ensures that the wine is complex and profound. The dosage, as indicated on the label, is Brut, with about 8 grams of sugar per litre. This makes this Champagne an extremely versatile wine suitable for a thousand occasions. Perfect with classic fish, it has enough substance and character to also stand up to a pairing with meat dishes, such as roast veal or rabbit with herbs. In the glass it is a lovely bright golden yellow colour with amber highlights. The nose reveals clear hints of aromatic herbs, such as lime and thyme, as well as brioche and hazelnut.

The pleasure of discovery also comes through encounters with bottles like this one. Cuvée Néon Brut from Alain Mercier is a pure Pinot Meunier. A Blanc de Noir, then, made from the other Pinot, the lesser-known Pinot Noir but also less capricious and still capable of producing wines of great pleasure. This, in particular, is Mercier's flagship wine, what is generally considered the most effective calling card to illustrate the style of the house. In the glass, this Néon has a reassuring light golden color. The nose reveals itself to be fine, characterized by tones of white, slightly candied fruit, such as apple and pear, accompanied by notes of honey. In the glass, after being in contact with oxygen for a few minutes, aromas of pastry and roasted hazelnuts are revealed. In the mouth it is blunt, perfectly balanced between roundness and vivacity. A pleasantly gastronomic wine, it goes well with seafood, shellfish and coquillage. But if instead of fish, a meaty main course is served, the makings of the best accompaniment are certainly not lacking.

Champagne Cuvée Désirée Brut by Jean-Bernard Bourgeois is a tribute to elegance. The wines from the Courmas region, located in the Montagne de Reims in Champagne, originate from vineyards cultivated on limestone-clay soils. These soils are ideal for viticulture thanks to their ability to retain water and release it gradually. This characteristic, combined with the cool, moderate climate, allows the grapes to reach perfect ripeness, maintaining a lively acidity and developing complex aromas. Cuvée Désirée comes from a particularly successful blend of Pinot Meunier in clear predominance, giving freshness and fruity notes, plus 25% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir. This balance of grape varieties makes the Champagne versatile and suitable for many occasions. Maturation in contact with yeasts continues for around 30 months, a period sufficient to develop a delicate aromatic bouquet and a creamy texture, without overpowering the wine's freshness. The result is a Champagne with a fine perlage and a well-balanced structure, distinguished by its savouriness and smoothness. Ideal as an aperitif, this Champagne pairs well with savoury appetisers, canapés with smoked salmon, crostini with pté or fresh cheeses.
