Disgorged October 2018, this was an older release Zachys had recently for some reason. Classic muddled ripe strawberry, kinky spices, a hint of amarena cherry. Perhaps not the most concentrated version of this, but just love the unusual flavors this wine delivers.

November 2021 disgorgement (as all of the past bottles have been, too). 50/50 Pinot Noir/Chard. No dose, and sans soufre. The aromatics on the reminded me of clay and citrus mixing together. Citrus peel, some red fruit (cherry?), orange that evolves to tangerine, apricot flesh and a cool pineapple. When cool and first opened, this is more lasered with a freshness that makes the wine feel leaner. But with air and some relaxing of the temp, the wine fleshes out, the finish really lengthens and a minerality arrives. I stoppered up a full glass within the bottle for tomorrow and I'm gonna give this another good look and see if I have the descriptors here nailed....

Disgorgement 12/23, vintage 2021. Still very primal and rough. Nevertheless the juice is enormous. Full mouthfeel and almost oily texture. Very pleasant bitterness. Compact and precise. Light, clean and very long. Great and will only getting better.

-- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over 1.5 hrs. --
-- April 2022 disgorgement --
-- 90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay --

NOSE: light and airy, with mint and apples; first pour took-on a slight autolytic note after 15 min. in the glass.

BODY: light

TASTE: dry and crisp; speaks strongly of its cepage. I like this style, and consider this a fantastic QPR at just under $50.

90% Pinot noir, 10% Chardonnay Contains 50% reserve wine; Degorgement: 10/2022
상당히 강렬한 검붉은 과실미. 아직은 steely한 피니쉬가 좀 더 시간이 필요한 것처럼 보인다. 에너지가 넘치는 스타일. 2-3시간에 걸쳐 마셨더니 후반부에 코어의 산미가 잘 어우러지는 느낌.

Some fun wines with buds: Light ruby color. The nose shows a bunch of tart cherries, raspberries, with spicy herbs, white pepper, some tobacco, and mint. The palate is crunchy, light, zesty, elegant, with red apple peels and tangy raspberries. Lots of spiced tea, pickling spices, tobacco, mint. Tasted blind, I guessed this as a Jura Ploussard.

Dosage 0 g/l, 50:50 2015 base Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and no sulphur. Disgorged September 2020 and happily still in good condition, even fresh. This is really interesting, with real tension between the intensity of the developed flavour profile, and the lack of dosage leading to a sort of underlying sharp nothingness. Mushroom and sharp citrus, incisive and intriguing: I can't get a handle on it, but I want to keep trying to.

Nariz expresiva, de corte maduro, manzana compotada, pétalo de flor ajadas, confitura de fruta con hueso, algo de pastelería, un toquecito de licor de frutilla roja licorosa. En boca el ataque es bueno, el paso cremoso, con burbuja finita y bien integrada, notable frescura, reaparecen notas de fruta compotada, notable frescura, cierta volumen y gran longitud. Excelente espumoso.

Very nice: all tart red apple and some saltiness. Nice long finish with a bit of bitterness to it.

100% Grand Cru classified Pinot Noir from Bouzy.

Dsg 10/2012. Without SO2. 0 dosage. 50% chardonnay and 50% pinot noir

After 2 experiences in 2009 with very evolved wines (Chartogne and Bérêche) I wanted to open a “natural” bottle, without dosage or addition of SO2 in order to have some certainty about the evolution of the vintage. I was expecting a fairly evolved champagne given the 2 previous experiences on high-end estates.

Very lively nose, like effervescence, it is herbaceous, as vinous as it is chalky.

Precise mouth, which reveals itself through strategy. The wine is lively, I would have thought of a 2012. The attack is vinous and rich. The well-integrated acidity allows the wine to loosen up and land correctly on the taste buds to express all its facets. Then comes a coppery side, which establishes an intense minerality on the wet stone. The precision and harmony of the mouth are astonishing, because the Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay share the task perfectly in symbiosis. Beautiful finish, saline, with good vibrant length.

Glorious deep crimson. Not scrutinised too closely given it was drunk at a family gathering, but we all enjoyed the tangy raspberry fruit on offer here. Very easy to drink, went well with cream tea.

Lovely delicate Pinot fruit on the nose on opening, the aromatics grew less fruity and more savory with time in the glass. On the palate it's the acidity and clarity that are most notable. Close your eyes and you could be drinking white wine. I rather liked this.

E&R Champagne night (E&R Wines, Portland OR): The nose is fresh and complex with red berries, bright red cherries, rose petals, saline, peaches, nectarines, toasty notes, biscuits, vanilla, and some pears. There is good depth and style here as it really leans into the red fruits over autolytics. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and fresh with tart, high acidity. The acidity is really refreshing and provides a great spine while the red fruits on the nose are expressive on the feel. This is just as lovely as the bottle I had last year. This has shown excellent consistency with it going more into the red fruits.

Great texture and depth. Multi-layered champagne with grip and minerality. Citrusy notes like blood orange and grapefruit are complimented by well-integrated spices.

One of the many champagnes drunk as part of the New Year festivities and definitely one of the head turners.

For the price in this region, few wines will deliver to that extent.
