Lovely cremant de Bourgogne. Traditionally, most of the cremants I enjoy are Alsatian, but this edges them all out. If there is a middle ground between Cremant and grower champagne, this is extremely close to grower champagne.
100% Pinot noir; dosage normally 4-5 g/l
My only regret about this wine was not having it with a full meal, as it seems supremely appropriate to have with food. Many cremants (IMO) start out with good intentions, but can’t hold up, normally because the mid-palate richness can’t imitate champagne. This Paul Nicolle challenges that previous mindset…clean, crisp, and commanding. Lemon, mineral/oyster shell, honeysuckle aromatics with typical BdN power on the palate. The mineral profile stays strong, with a frame of light lemon scone, and red berry fruit. Nice finish. At around $30, this is a no brainer. — 9 months ago

Pear, lemon curd, golden apple, citrus acidity, and clean minerals. Balanced, with more focus on acid and terroir. Paired well with potato leek soup and chicken breast. — 8 days ago
