Whites and champagnes: My contribution, bit of a geeky wine so have been waiting for the right occasion to open this. 2017 disgorgement, zero dosage. Very good complexity and weight to the wine, had a savoury note on the nose and finish. Ripe fruit was well-balanced and gave a slight sweetness to the wine despite the zero dosage. Not going to win a contest for elegance but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Made with five grape varieties from five different terroirs in Les Riceys. Spontaneously fermented in used burgundy pieces from Domaine de l'Arlot. Tirage with organic MCR. Disgorged in March 2017 without any dosage. A special champagne from an excellent vintage, certainly bone dry with ripe fruit, floral notes, mineral freshness and an uncommon energy to it. It already drinks magnificently. (disclaimer: ITB with Swedish importer of Horiot)

At the Glades. Appeearance is clear, medium intensity, yellow gold colour. Legs. Fine bubbles. Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of oxidative nut, sweet creamy mousse, lemon curd, orange peel, chalky limestone minerality, yeast. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of oxidative nuttiness, limestone minerality, creamy lemon curd, orange peel. Long finish. Very good quality. Good future as it develops. Blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, and Arbanne. Zero dosage. This was disgorged 7/3/2017.
