LES LOGES Blanc de Noirs 1er Cru Villers Allerand Nicolas Maillart NV

100% Pinot Noir on Terre de Marne marl and Thanet sand. Organic and biodynamic farming. Vinified completely in barrels with no added sulphites. On lees for eight months before bottling for secondary fermentation. Dosage 0 g/l.<br> Apples on the nose – really clean, fresh, chopped. And a cloud of fresh nutmeg. But on the palate the flavours move towards cooked apples, honey, developing a richer swirl and smoothness, a touch of melted butter and dried white currants. There is a definite sense of dried golden fruit and honeyed depth. Incredible that he's achieved this almost-lusciousness with no dosage. Black-pepper finish! Pretty exciting stuff.

POMMARD 1er Cru Croix Noires Domaine de Courcel 2015

Hints of menthol, violet and spice add breadth to the very ripe earth-infused nose that speaks mainly of cassis. There is excellent concentration to the notably rich and opulently textured big-bodied flavors that also boast an abundance of sappy dry extract that coats the palate on the powerful and long finish. This too is markedly firm and a wine that’s going to need plenty of time to resolve the underlying tannic spine.
