MES FAVORITES Vieilles Vignes Extra Brut Mareuil-sur-Aÿ Champagne Marc Hébrart NV
Crafted from old vines of massal selection planting on a south-facing site in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the NV Brut Premier Cru Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes offers up an elegant, complex bouquet of white peach, pear, herbs, lemon oil, pastry and tangerine. Fleshier and deeper than its siblings, it's medium to full-bodied, vinous and charming and has a delicate, vinous core of fruit that leads to a long, saline and slightly anise-inflected finish. This blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay (based on the 2019 and 2020 vintages in equal parts) was disgorged with a dosage of 5.5 grams per liter.
Taittinger, Brut Reserve NV
Taittinger of course needs little introduction and enjoys global recognition as one of the the great Champagne maisons. The consistently excellent Brut Réserve is a benchmark Grand Marque bubbly that embodies the house style, and is always reliable on special occasions. A brilliant golden yellow, the nose is very open and expressive, with aromas of fresh orchard fruit, citrus, and brioche, alongside some lovely floral notes. The palate is beautifully refined and elegant, leading to a long, delicious finish. Excellent value from one of Champagne's most iconic producers.
