I must say that I was quite excited to taste the Champagne that everybody talked about, but no one tasted yet. A great reunion with my old friend, Rodolphe Péters whose champagne making skills are nothing less than exceptional. A ground-breaking style that blends Chardonnay from Côte de Blancs of which one part is the actual vintage, one part reserve wines and one part mature wines from bottle. The rosé part being Pinot Noir from Vertus made as a rosé de saignée blended just before bottling to keep the notion of youthful red fruity freshness. It shows a very gentle bright rosé colour and a vivid mousse with fine bubbles. The nose starts out elegantly – layered and nuanced with chalky notes, fresh hazelnut, marzipan, fresh butter, pink citrus and lemongrass. After some time in the glass the Pinot enters with aromas of crushed raspberry, cherry and pain d´épice. The palate is nicely built, showing great flavour intensity and an invigorating freshness. It´s classically bone dry (4,5 grams of dosage) with a chalky presence, balanced by a mellow creaminess. Flavours of marzipan, confit de citron and peach with layers of mature nuttiness and pastry. Elegantly built with great persistency and precision. Drinks truly well today but should certainly improve from further cellaring.Inc. TAX€800.80€738.40 -

Nestled in the hallowed wine lands of Champagne, this uncompromising blend is product of a meticulous grape selection from the eponymous vineyard by the fourth generation winemaker - Eric Taillet. The wine is crafted purely from Meunier grapes, yielding a raw, Brut Nature rendition that’s largely unique in this prestigious region.

I must say that I was quite excited to taste the Champagne that everybody talked about, but no one tasted yet. A great reunion with my old friend, Rodolphe Péters whose champagne making skills are nothing less than exceptional. A ground-breaking style that blends Chardonnay from Côte de Blancs of which one part is the actual vintage, one part reserve wines and one part mature wines from bottle. The rosé part being Pinot Noir from Vertus made as a rosé de saignée blended just before bottling to keep the notion of youthful red fruity freshness. It shows a very gentle bright rosé colour and a vivid mousse with fine bubbles. The nose starts out elegantly – layered and nuanced with chalky notes, fresh hazelnut, marzipan, fresh butter, pink citrus and lemongrass. After some time in the glass the Pinot enters with aromas of crushed raspberry, cherry and pain d´épice. The palate is nicely built, showing great flavour intensity and an invigorating freshness. It´s classically bone dry (4,5 grams of dosage) with a chalky presence, balanced by a mellow creaminess. Flavours of marzipan, confit de citron and peach with layers of mature nuttiness and pastry. Elegantly built with great persistency and precision. Drinks truly well today but should certainly improve from further cellaring.In Bond€658.00€606.00 -

The Fleur de Miraval Exclusivement Rose ER2 NV is a triumph of viniculture, exuding the singular finesse that only the expressive Chardonnay grape can afford a rosé. It hails from the eminent Miraval vineyard, nestled in the heart of Provence, France. This exquisite creation was brought into existence through the shared visions of the Perrin family, Brad Pitt, and Champagne producer Rodolphe Péters. With a delicate, yet persistent perlage and a luminous, almost crystalline pink hue, the Fleur de Miraval Exclusivement Rose ER2 NV is a testament to the superior wine-making techniques applied in its production. Its delicate nuances of red fruit and citrus interplay with whispers of minerality, producing a rich aromatic orchestra in every sip. The process of 90% Chardonnay, fermented in stainless steel, and matured ‘sur latte’ for three years, lends it unique depth and structure. This exclusive champagne embodying the art of rosé, never fails to captivate discerning oenophiles.
