Introduction
I samband med bokrelease av Britt och Per Karlssons nya bok "Champagne, vinet och odlarna" så fanns det möjlighet att prova några av champagner från några av odlarna i boken.
NV Doyard-Mahé Champagne Carte d'Or Brut 86 Points
France, Champagne
(Disgorged in 2016, base year 2010, 100% Chardonnay, Dosage 10 gr/L, from magnum bottle) Light yellow colour with a nose showing a dash of rubber, almonds, minerals and a hint of herbs. Palate show a youthfulness but with smooth acidity and a round mineral driven finish. Very well integrated dosage in this cuvée, but other than that this assemblage is dominated by its softer palate and nothing that wakes my interest.

NV Alexandre Penet Champagne Extra Brut 88 Points
France, Champagne
(Disgorged in November 28th 2016, base year 2011, 20% Pinot Noir, 60% Pinot Meunier, 20% Chardonnay, Dosage 6 gr/L) Light yellow colour with a distinct nose showing lime and exotic fruits. Palate is showing fresh acidity and herbal notes on the finish. This was a very pleasant cuvée with good personality that I could try again. Probably even better with a couple of years of extra cellaring!

NV Diebolt-Vallois Champagne Cuvée Prestige Blanc de Blancs 89 Points
France, Champagne
(Disgorged in 2016) Very light yellow colour with a flowery nose filled with minerals and raspberries in a very youthful way. Palate is very creamy and at the same time very acidic. The finish is an explosion of flowers and tutti-frutti. This is very nice, but needs some extra post-disgorgement time to show its best. Best with 2-5 years of extra cellaring.
