1/22/2024 - Shay.Aldriedge Likes this wine: 92 points

92+.

Went through a 3-pack of these over the past year. Enjoyed each one. Re-buy.

100% Pinot from Verzenay. Mid-2022 disgorgement. 3yrs on the lees. 3g/l dosage.

The dark black wrap around the bottle certainly makes this stand out. Deep gold in the glass. Powerful red fruit (raspberries) but also some tropical fruit (guava), and a toasty flair aromatically. Big rich and round profile on the palate with a small yeasty/leesy vibe, spiced pear, caramel apple, truffle honeycomb and limestone.

Style wise, this is kind of a grower champagne version of Bollinger’s Special Cuvée (similar price point too). Great with garlic fries!

This bottle really underwhelmed. Maybe just a bad bottle but there simply wasn't a lot of anything to it. No energy or lift. Felt a bit flat, not with regard to the bubbles themselves, but simply the wine. Disappointing.

Petit & Bajan have been one of those “growers” to watch for a few years now. A literal marriage of Chardonnay (Richard Petit) and Pinot Noir (Véronique Bajan) with some mentoring from the one and only Ansleme Selosse makes for a pretty compelling story. As it turns out, the wines are pretty darned good! Popped and poured. The “Nuit Blanche” is a BdB showcase of Petit’s family holdings in Avize with some fruits coming from Cramant and Oger as well. The wine pours a light straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, mix of lemon curd, white peach, limes, pear, almonds and brioche with chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with really good acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with distinctive chalky minerals. This was very nice and I look foreword to tracking their wines. Bottled on July 2, 2015. Disgorged November 2021.

Color: Pale straw yellow
Aroma: Minerals, smoke, bread, unripe pear
Flavor: Apple, minerals, italian dinner roll

Personally I prefer more yeasty/oaked Champagne, but this is a very excellent classical representation.

In a phrase: moderately restrained yellow herbal fruit backbone with a hint of wildflowers on the finish. I have been told by some that this is a good balance between Krug and more reductive microproducers. Have been told by others that this is an oxidative love child with those micro producers that are oxidative and those that are reductive. I would say that, on a whole, this one is right down the middle. The nose of this wine seems to indicate a sparkling that is going to be more oxidative. Pours with moderately big bubbles, yellow peach and Bartlett pear notes coming from the glass. The palate is more of an Asian pear and a white peach, seems to be definitely much more lean in character versus the nose. The middle of this one is where the herbal qualities gain, and a lot of white wildflowers integrate well with an Asian pear background. Finishes with white pepper wrapped around a youthful yellow fruit core. If I was lucky enough to have a case of this, I'd take the other 11 and age them for at least 5 years, then pull them one per year to see how they develop over the next decade. Iquared this one in mid 2022, so using that as a measuring stick I'd say you have a good 15 years from that point.

Disgorged March 2022. Looks like it went into bottle in 2015, so wondering if this was 2014 base....not sure, and what if any reserve wines are in it. Believe this was Pinot Noir given its sourcing from Verzenay (and if I recall, also from Verzy). Raspberry, pear and some coil in the finish.

The 100% Chardonnay Champagne is spontaneously fermented, battonage, did not undergo BSA and is not filtered. Much less and much more, you almost can not do. This is a pure, terroir-emphasized Blanc de Blancs that will be fun to drink from aperitifs, through dinner and into the late night. On the nose, Petit & Bajan Nuit Blanche smells fresh of white peaches and Williams pears. The attack is creamy and soft, the sweet, ripe fruit immediately fills the palate, intense but fine perlage, then the acidity grabs hold, giving the wine a lot of race and turning the initially hedonistic and lush drop into a punchy and at the same time elegant wine with good character.

Promis is a Grand Cru Champagne that combines the energy and body of Chardonnay from Avize with the intensity and spice of Pinot Noir from Verzenay, setting the bar high for a Grand Cru Champagne. For one must know that Richard is usually one of the last producers to harvest the ripe grapes (the last is usually Selosse). Thanks to the long aging on the fine lees and the ripe fruit, Promis is a rich and complex wine. The harmony between the powerful minerality of the Chardonnay and the gentle depth of the ripe, vinous Pinot Noir is palpable from the first whiff to the last sip, making this cuvée a wonderful drinkingpleasure. The aromas range from oyster shell, yellow apple, brioche, some cream, lemon curd, and nice spice. The palate is broad and inviting and is packed with a powerful core of ripe fruit and powdered stone. This is a Champagne that will find a wide audience, ranging from the Champagne novice to the connoisseur. Cheers!

In the Obsidienne, notes of peppermint and lemons first flow through the nose. With a little air, red apples, some quince and a hint of raspberries come to the fore. On the palate, crisp fruit, and a nice chalky minerality that adds elegance. There's pressure, power, and a bit of smokiness. The finish is chalky and iodine, leaving an ultimate feeling of crisp, fresh grapes, which is supported by a subtle note of fresh coriander. Obsidienne Champagne Blanc De Noirs Grand Cru Petit Bajan embodies the freshness, hammer fruit, and freshness of its vintage.

Loved this. Amazing nose outshines the palate with white flowers, honey and orchard fruit. Fruity and refreshing on the palate but the finish stops short and is a little disappointing. Wondering if it will fill out with some air.

A bit too heavy on the toast and yeast upon opening, but that quickly disappeared. A little on the astringent side, but the acidity makes food pairing good, but a must. Definitely some stone fruit, with touches of the yeast and toast evident, though not as much as when first opened.
Not so much fun as a quaffer.
For the price versus quality, we're sticking with Mumm and Moet and for half the price domestic Roederer, Gloria Ferrer and others.
A purchase from Wine Spectrum, can't really give this a thumbs up or down.

Truly excellent -- light but extremely flavorful, with berries and apricots and vanilla and toast and hints of reductive flint/gamey notes -- all the greatest hits of champagne hitting you all at once, but in a harmonious focused package. "Focused" for sure -- unlike Krug Grand Cuvee (which I tend to score the same 95 points) which hits you all across the palate, this feels like a tight sphere floating in the mouth. Floating in a Burgundian manner -- ethereal. Also: would be very crowd pleasing (though I didn't share). And held up extremely well over a couple days. I wouldn't go out of my way to age it, but it could handle it for sure.

Followed over 2.5 hours.

Nose not very expressive, but I really enjoyed this.

Fine bubbles that quickly disappear on the tongue. Core of green apple and pear notes throughout with white florals, and refreshing acidity -citrus and peppery bite on the finish. The bread/yeast notes are there, especially on the nose, but I didn’t find them overpowering.

Petit & Bajan Obsidienne ist ein grossartiger, frischer Blanc de Noirs aus Grand Cru Lage aus dem Jahr 2014

Beim Obsidienne strömen erst mal Noten von Pfefferminze und Zitronen durch die Nase. Mit etwas Luftr kommen dann rote Äpfel, etwas Quitte und einen Hauch von Himbeeren zum tragen.

Am Gaumen dann kackige Frucht und eine schöner kalkigen Mineralität, die Eleganz verleiht. Da ist Druck, Kraft und etwas rauchig. Im Abgang ist er kreidig und jodhaltig und hinterlässt ein ultimatives Gefühl von knackig, frischen Trauben, welche von einer feinen Note von frischem Koreander unterstützt wird.

Der Obsidienne Champagne Blanc De Noirs Grand Cru Petit Bajan verkörpert die Frische, die hammer Frucht und die Frische seines Jahrgangs.

Dazu könnte ein Wassermelonensalat, Thunfisch-Tataki oder Fenchel mit Joghurt-Zitronen-Sauce passen.

Petit & Bajan „Nymphea“ ist kein heiterer, fruchtiger Rosé mit charmanter Süsse, sondern das genaue Gegenteil. Der Champagner ist kraftvoll, tanninbetont und zupackend. Er hat Rückgrat und Struktur. Dazu gesellt sich die für Champagner typische knackige Frische.

Der Rosé ist enorm würzig, kräutrig und erdig. Neben einem Hauch von roten Beeren wird das Aroma deutlich von roten Beten, Wacholder und Räucherkammer bestimmt. Bei „Nymphea“ wird Champagner von Rotwein geküsst. Ein toller Essensbegleiter der auch kräftigere Gerichte gut begleiten wird. Eventell was von Ottolenghi?

Ein Rosé der unter den klassichen Rosé-Trinkern etwas polarisiert, da hier schon Ecken und Kanten vorhanden sind, die man mögen muss. Wir finden das grossartig und definiv einen Versuch wert! Wenn Sie also einen Begleiter für besonders würzige Speisen suchen; hier sind Sie absolut am richtigen Ort.

Petit & Bajan Nuit Blanche Blanc de Blancs Champagner ist spontan vergoren, Battonage, keine BSA und nicht filtriert. Viel weniger und viel mehr, kann man fast gar nicht machen. Das ist ein purer, Terroir betonter Blanc de Blancs, der vom Aperitiv, übers Essen bis hin in die späte Nacht viel Spass bereiten wird.

In der Nase duftet der Petit & Bajan Nuit Blanche frisch nach weissem Pfirsichen und Williamsbirnen. Der Auftakt ist cremig und weich, die süsse, reife Frucht füllt sofort den Gaumen, intensive, jedoch feine Perlage, dann packt die Säure zu, verleiht dem Wein viel Rasse und macht aus dem anfangs hedonistisch-üppigen Tropfen einen druckvollen und gleichzeitig eleganten Wein mit gutem Charakter.

I’m digging this a lot. Much more than its brother (Obsidienne). Big mouthfeel with a cool V-shaped acid line of like a sour mango, great toasty chalky touches of buttery nose, perfectly balanced dosage, long long finish. Writing this as I sip and I keep wanting to add another point to the score with each sip. At this rate I’ll hit 110 by the end of the bottle. Watch this space. (Update: it plateaued at 93)
