@Delectable Wine : This is the Emilien Allouchery La Scéne champagne. I didn’t see it in the database.
New producer I’ve started hearing about, and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to opening the BdN later.
80% fermentation in oak barrels, 20% in amphora. Disgorged May ‘23. 1 g/l dosage. 100% Chardonnay.
Bright, crisp and texturally really pretty. Classically grower champagne in style with the fruit center stage…borders on tropical (in a good way)…white peach, lemon zest, sea spray aromatics. IMO, a great example of where even 1gram dosage can help balance and lengthen out a champagne of this profile. Curious if the use of amphora adds to the mid-palate texture here? After an hour, little bit of sweet toast started to poke out, but it was second fiddle to the fruit. Balanced use of oak frames this well. Finish of chalk/limestone, sea salt, lemon confit, honeyed apple crisps. Worth seeking out. — a year ago

Drank at TAC with lamb and rib eye. Refined flavors, long finish and good nose. Approximately $100 and worth it. — 4 years ago
