Along with Egly-Ouriet, simply the best entry-level grower champ on the market (IMO). This is 70% base vintage, and 30% reserve wines. Blend is 33/33/33% Pinot/Chard/Meunière. 30+ months on lees… damn delicious. Disgorgement: June 2023 / Dosage: 6 gr/l — 25 days ago

Oh yes! Intense Champagne. Yeasty bread and lemon zest on the nose, pear and citrus with nutty, slightly herbal undertones. Great. 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay. 3g/l dosage. Disgorged 10/2023. — 7 months ago

Again it’s a champagne from Cédric Moussé, one of the Masters of Meunier. He’s almost single-handedly put Cuisles on the wine map. The L’Or D’Eugéne is a perfect introduction to his style.

Medium gold with fast paced perlage and an attractive bouquet. Black cherries and pretty flowers combine with chalk and herbs. In the mouth, it’s racy and vivacious. Sexy and a bit thrilling with zippy acidity. 80/20 Pinot Meunier/Pinot Noir from a perpetual reserve with an Extra Brut dosage of 2 g/l.

I’ve always wanted to drink this over a few days. To really let it breathe and mature in the glass. To really let it set and enjoy it over time. But I can’t. It’s just too damn good. — 2 years ago

Blend of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and small amounts of local varieties: Arbanne, Petit Meslier and Fromenteau, stainless vinification, pale salmon color with aromas of stone fruit, citrus and floral notes. On the palate fresh fruit tastes of raspberry and peach with lemony tones. Great balance, good bubble bead flow, generous acidity, long ending with crisp citrus and mineral tones. Nice! — 2 months ago

Disgorged: December 2016. Dosage: 1.5 g/L. Perfect accompaniment to packing away Christmas decorations and prepping lunch. Apple, pear, citrus, mineral… very complex aromas and flavors. Creamy texture with crisp finish. We loved it. — 2 months ago

The Ariston Aspasie Cépages d'Antan is a blend of one grape that is nearly extinct in Champagne, Petit Meslier and two rare grapes that get blended into Champagne. It parses into 40% Petit Meslier, 40% Arbanne, and 20% Pinot Blanc. None of the three main grapes; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier

Crazy good body and super soft mouthfeel. There is soft precision in the palate. Excellent micro oxygenation. Shades of the 2007 Taittinger Comte’s. Leads with the white citruses.- lime, lemon, grapefruit, kiwi, some pineapple juice, tropical green melon, what softer than soft powdery chalkiness, limestone, volcanics just as soft, spring flowers for days, perfect acidy and a purely beautifully balanced, knitted, length that has length and a singing finish that goes on and on. @ K&L Champagne tasting. — a year ago
