    September 1, 2023 - A very good and complete Champagne. Not as much acidic pop and complexity as the last bottle that wowed me though. I think some time in the bottle will help this gain.

    July 14, 2023 - This was super delicious and fresh with loads of PN fruit, wonderful chalky seam and fine mouse. Really enjoyed by all at Eckler's with ricotta stuffed zucchini flowers. Would buy again if available !!

    June 4, 2022 - Q2 2022 Wine Club: Grower Champagne (The Apt): Wine #5: Served a bit less cold than the others to start which I thought was ok but I think was offputting for some. I get almost a hint of sweetness to this wine. Maybe some lemon curd. A lighter but lively style. It comes across as quite young. Needs more time. At this stage it feels more like an easy drinker. (1 penny)

    January 18, 2022 - Paul Bara Comtesse Marie du France 2006, ein Champagner für Liebhaber grosser Weine

    Die Marke „Comtesse Marie de France“ wurde von Paul Bara im Auftrag eines französischen Gastronomen geschaffen. Heute ist das Restaurant geschlossen, aber die Marke gehört technisch gesehen immer noch dem Wirt. Aus diesem Grund muss Champagne Paul Bara auf seinem Etikett MA „Marque d’Acheteur“ anstelle von RM (Récoltant Manipulant) angeben. In diesem Fall steht MA nicht im Widerspruch zu RM, da diese Cuvée aus den Trauben des Weinguts und von Champagne Paul Bara hergestellt wird.

    Der Wein ist von mittlerer strohgelber Farbe und braucht etwas Luft, um Aromen von Honig, Quitte, Moltebeeren, frischem Teig und geschnittenen Pilzen zu entfalten. Und wenn ich hier schreibe „etwas Luft“ meine ich viel Luft – sehr viel Luft“. Am besten öffnen Sie den Wein zur Zeit einen Tag vorher, nehmen einen Schluck und stellen ihn zurück in den Kühlschrank. Alternativ können Sie den Wein in einen schmalen Wasserkrug karaffieren. Aber achten Sie darauf, dass die Karaffe sauber gereinigt ist, sonst löst sich die Perlage in Luft auf.

    Am Gaumen dann sehr jugendlich mit Aromen von Sauerkirsche, Zitronenquark, Grapefruit, Apfelpüree und Brioche, mit wunderbar cremiger Mousse und ein sehr angenehmes Mundgefühl, machen diese komplexen uns anspruchsvollen Wein zu einem Erlebnis. Dieser Champagner hat ein enormes Alterungspotenzial und zeigt sich am besten nach mehreren Jahren Flaschenreife. Ein hervorragender Essensbegleiter!

    December 16, 2021 - Singing so nicely to us right now. Has opened up and the nose is really expressive. Don't serve in flutes or too cold. Has many miles still to go but in a really lovely spot right now balancing between expressive nose and fresh palate with energy. Food friendly so feel free to pair with even heavier food.
