All Pinot Noir, from Portlandian limestone, fermented and aged in used barrel. 5 g/L dosage. Medium nose shows brioche, truffle, white flowers. Palate is toasty, richer style, but dry, phenolics give it nice structure. Showcases both those notes nicely, but they are both fairly loud in that regard. Needs time to develop.

Récolte Noire is made entirely from Pinot Noir with a minimum of two years aging in the bottle and with a dosage around 5g/L. The base wine is fermented in used Puligny-Montrachet barrels. The Recolte Noire is less fruity and more earthy than most Blanc de Noirs. White-golden in color, this is a fine, fresh and delicately fruity Champagne with just a hint of oak. Intense, fresh and lush on the palate with citrus flavors with toasty hints and a full-bodied rich finish.

The love for Champagne, hosted by Kölner Weinkeller (Zoom tasting): Wine 5: 100% Pinot Noir from Cote de Bar. Disgorged 31 July 2019, with a dosage of 5 g/l. Pale, medium yellow-gold. Lovely fresh raspberry and strawberry notes, stone fruit, apple, brioche, some nuts and a hint of smoke, with creamy, medium-fine mousse, good acidity and very good length of the fruit-bitter finish. Fairly balanced and harmonious. The finish lacks focus and becomes a little too sugary, but overall this champagne is quite appealing.

Nice! Like the 100% pinot noir bubbly.
Red apple, spice, nutty.
A bit drier in style. Well balanced.
