Bulles, Philippe Pacalet 2020
Philippe Pacalet’s 'Bulles' is made with the same natural, minimal-intervention approach that defines his Burgundies. It's unfiltered and lightly hazy, preserving texture and purity. In the glass, it’s pale with a gentle cloudiness and lively, fine bubbles. Aromas of lemon zest, white blossom and fresh orchard fruit mix with subtle brioche and a savoury nuance from the natural fermentation. On the palate it’s vibrant and linear, with crisp acidity, soft mousse and flavours of citrus, pear and crushed rock, leading to a dry, lightly saline finish. A brilliant companion to oysters, gougères, sushi, fried chicken or soft, creamy cheeses. Philippe Pacalet is easily one of our favourite Burgundians, combining a wicked sense of humour with his own bold approach to winemaking that has placed him at the forefront of the Cote d’Or. What else would you expect from the former winemaker at the illustrious Domaine Prieuré-Roch?
Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Brut Réserve NV
Light, fine and harmonious, the Brut Réserve is a blend from three different years and sourced from the best sites in the Champagne region. The nose combines charming white and red fruits, whilst the palate is wonderfully fresh and forward, with some complex toasty notes from the lees aging. The champagnes of Maison Billecart-Salmon are revered around the world, and the majority of the grapes for the Brut Réserve come from a radius of 20km around Epernay, famed for its Grand Cru Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. "Highly aromatic and delicate, the nose has lovely red and orchard fruits, whilst the palate is wonderfully fresh and elegant, with some stony minerality. A benchmark Brut from Billecart-Salmon" Our note
