-Biotop, Marseille- Une belle decouverte que ce domaine Bio, qui propose de tres jolis champagnes propres et élégants, qui parlent, qui vivent, sans se permettre pour autant les frasques habituelles (réduction-oxydation-pb de netteté, de gouts fermentaires......). Cette cuvée complexe et droite, dynamique et fine, m'a particulièrement séduit, m'évoquant l'Umami de De Sousa pour sa richesse virevoltante toute en élégance.

FW-BYOB-HT-15#1; 1/15/2015-1/19/2015: ¤FW - Another really odd Champagne, that would probably have benefited from not being tasted blind, as you sort of need to know that this is a "vin nature" to judge it rightly. On the other hand, If you don't enjoy drinking it blind you shouldn't enjoy it no matter. But turns out its not that simple!
Weird, oxidative nose with some green notes of nettles and asparagus together with over ripe apples, funky minerals and candle wax. Slightly developed palate with high, fairly tart acidity. Medium body with good length and intensity. Weird nose, more classic palate. I liked this, and voted it 2nd best of the flight, but more for its uniqueness than its qualities.
