BARNAUT Authentique Rosé Brut Grand Cru Bouzy Champagne Barnaut ( Release) 2025
A blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, the NV Brut Rosé Authentique is the best wine in this in this range, once again. Ample and resonant, with terrific persistence, the Authentique is immediately captivating. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, blood orange, pomegranate and dried rose petals infuse this cuvée with tons of character. I loved it. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 5, 2022.
Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Demi-Sec NV
This is a non-vintage blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, dosed at around 35g/l of residual sugar, which sounds like a lot until you taste how deftly Billecart-Salmon balances it: the acidity holds everything upright, the sweetness feels earned rather than applied, and the mousse is as fine and persistent as you'd expect from one of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ's most meticulous grandes maisons. It's generous without being cloying, and the finish stays fresh. Drink with something that can stand up to the sweetness: a tarte Tatin, a slice of Comté, or frankly, a wedge of something salty and blue.
