  Flott nese med røde epler, epleskall, gjærbakst og stein. Ren og konsentrert frukt i munn, rått sampsill mellom salt mineralitet og syrlig eplefrukt. Herlige bobler. Litt alternativ i stilen, men meget bra Champagne.

  Ard & David’s 50th birthday dinner (Chez David, Amsterdam, NL.): Tonight is all about the 1969 vintage, and even the aperitif is in theme, because this was the year in which Jacques Beaufort started farming his vineyards organically. A blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. The house style is ever so slightly oxidative, and this shows in the baked apple fruit, which provides a lovely counterpoint to an otherwise very pure and linear, fresh and mineral Champagne, its tight citrus fruit rounded off by judicious dosage.

  80 % PN, 20 % CH - disgorged (manually, no frost) September 2018 - dosage around 9 g/l - biodynamic.
  
  Quite yellow in the glass and vinous on the nose with aromas of slightly oxidative red apple, pear, wild yeast (natural wine), candied fruit, quince, and French cider. Creamy on the palate with obvious malo, pretty high viscosity, and a well-integrated acidity - the quite high dosage is noticeable, too. Fine mousse - almost more like a ‘normal’ (or here, natural) wine than a champagne.

  This Champagne tried very hard, but was a bit too old, showing a firm body, but also indecisive acidity that wasn't quite integrated in the wine. Still nice, but not great.
