The Other Great French Blancs: Champagne and Sauternes (Wink Restaurant, Austin, Texas): Finally, some pinot noir. This probably needs more time, which one could tell from its flat finish and apparent lean-ness when compared with other flight wines. It started fresh, with lots of carbonation and a sweet, musty nose. The acidity was good, with lots of citrus flavors and yeast, lilac, light fruit, straw, green apple, lemon, some pear, pomegranate, raspberry, peanuts, and dried pasta notes. Had a short, wet stone/flint finish. I drank this wine a few weeks later and it was quite good, but here it seemed lean and was likely too young. Interesting that the "recolte" is emphasized in the title of this wine, so we don't have to find and read the miniscule RM at the bottom of the label.

Very yeasty nose when opened. I'm not a big fan of that flavor in Champagne, but it went very well with the lobster we had for dinner. Yeasty characteristic disappears for me when paired with food.

Gorgeous. Very different from my other two faves (Bouchard Inflorescence and Vilmart Cuvee Rubis), with chalky and biscuity notes rather than citrus. Small, energetic bead. Lovely.

While this was enjoyable, it was a little simple. Super high acidity, light yeastiness, this Champagne becomes more rounder and showing a little more fruit on the 2nd day and more poised. A touch of minerality. Maybe a little too young, no idea of the disgorgement date. 70% pinot, 30% chard.

Good, but not great, though really opened up to something very good after about 30 -45 minutes. Give it a little more time or let breath for an hour before pouring and don't serve too cold.

Paired with a big plate of west coast oysters. Initially tight nosed, showing a chalky, salty, citrus driven aromatic profile. Slow to open up, but the palate showed slightly riper, driven by its PN fruit profile. High acid and long finished but a hair lean and unyielding right now though it did improve with air. Give it time?

Oyster shells, parsley, dill, lemon skin, cape berry, earthy but very subtle, really need to dig those aromas
on the palate restrain, mineral, flint, lime, elder flower but again very subtle and a bit fairy short

A private lunch (Restaurant De Librije ***, Zwolle, Netherlands): Vibrant pale white gold; lovely nose, floral, fresh fruit, very pure, perfumed, just a hint of evolution; lovely steely backbone, excellent freshness from the Chardonnay, balanced and elegant, not oxidative at all, good weight but very precise and linear for Côte des Bar; very good intensity and length.

Light gold. Bubbles small. Lemon zest nose, not truly yeasty. Citrus and apple. Tight and austere.Acidic, rather than toasty. Better alone than as a concomitant or introduction to food.

UWS (@ JB): In the bouquet apple pie and yeast impression. On the palate a bit reductive with firm lemon, minerals and bitterness. Quite dry. Concentrated firm bubble. Tasty and a good length.

A business dinner (Restaurant De Librije ***, Zwolle, Netherlands): No detailed notes. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Quite a firm bubble, youthful, pure and intense style, mineral, vibrant and long.

Mid lemon colour, gentle bead. Lemon, apple; a little toasty, a little lactic. Quite broad palate but firm, even steely, acidity. A certain saltiness, perhaps a nuttiness. Not great, not worth bothering with. [Cork + cage; 12% abv; Raeburn Fine Wines, Edinburgh, £25].

A really promising bottle of Champagne, particularly at its price point; The nose is still somewhat tight, but the palate has concentrated and fleshy notes of stone fruit, chalky minerals and smoke, with firm acidity leading into the finish; No rush to drink these, although it's thoroughly enjoyable now

From memory, straight-up Champagne blend, very dry with significant pinot noir body, enjoyed with lobster risotto.

What a lovely, classic, pinot noir-dominate champ this is. Beautifully aromatic (jasmine, muscat?), just the right amount of dosage and faintest touch of brioche, very food-friendly.

June in Champagne; 6/11/2018-6/16/2018: Excellent 'blend' of recolte Noir and recolte Blanche. Sum of parts a bit better than the parts themselves.

A blend of Pinot Noir (70%) and Chardonnay (30%). Disgorged on Feb 14th 2014. 4 g/l dosage.

Yellow-green color. Somewhat simple but pleasant nose with aromas of ripe apples, some creamy autolytic character, even a little bit of butter and a hint of brioche. The wine feels moderately full-bodied and practically bone-dry on the palate with quite rich and expansive flavors of red apples, some pink grapefruit, a little bit red-fruited Pinosity, a hint of steely minerality and a touch of leesy richness. The wine feels medium in acidity with moderately big and medium-long mousse. The finish is quite autolytic and somewhat buttery with flavors of nuttiness, steely minerality, some toasty bread character, a hint of yeastiness and a touch of tart key lime.

A bone-dry and somewhat angular, yet still quite pleasant and nicely balanced Champagne. Doesn't offer much complexity but instead simpler pleasure. A reliable entry-level Champagne without much particular character but with good balance and structure.

grower right outside Aube in Cote de Bar below Epernay. Savory nose, yeasty, delicate nose. Leaner, more acid driven; very approachable, great mouthful. Seductively simple, clean and refreshing. 3% dosage. Champs for folks who don't love Champs.

Aktuell zeigt sich der Recolté Brute ausladend und angenehm fruchtbetont, der durchgehende Holzeinsatz ist klar vernehmbar. Durch die geringe Dosage von 5g/l bleiben die mineralischen Anklänge zart haften, der Wein wirkt vielschichtig, dabei aber immer auch präzise. Gewinnt ganz eindeutig mit etwas Temperatur. Kann durchaus als Solist bestehen, begleitet aber auch gerne ein etwas deftigeres Risotto.

70 % Pinot Noir und 30 % Chardonnay, hier ein Musterbeispiel, wie sich die beiden Rebsorten gegenseitig helfen. Frucht und Körper sowie Säure und Eleganz, der Holzausbau der Grundweine spielt auch noch gelungen mit, nur 3 g/l Dosage. Gewinnt mit Luft und Temperatur dazu. So gehört sich das.
