ワインアドヴォケイト誌で過去最高96pの評価が出ました! [表記は無くともグラン・クリュです]
アンドレ・クルエはピノ・ノワール100%格付けの「ブージー村」「アンボネイ村」に畑を所有します。勿論エチケットにグラン・クリュ表記が可能です。しかしアンドレ・クルエのエチケットにグラン・クリュの表記はありません。かつてアンドレ・クルエはボランジェから『エチケットのデザインが似ているから変えろ』という言いがかりを付けられました。その言いがかりに対し『少なくとも1911年からこのデザインだった』というアンドレ・クルエ側からの回答に対しボランジェ側が『だったらデザインは一切変えずにそのままにしろ』という不条理な要求を突きつけられました。若き日の当主ジャン・フランソワがこの要求にOKを出してしまった為、今でもエチケットのデザインを一切変えられずGurand Cruの表記を入れていないという経緯があります。

The NV Un jour de 1911... is another 100% Bouzy Pinot Noir with an ancient label design. The shining golden-colored cuvée combines ripeness, complexity and finesse with intensity and elegance on both the nose and palate. It's a powerful and rich yet very fine and balanced Champagne with great freshness and complex length. It is juicy and intense but also highly delicate, and its mineral tension and persistent finish make it a first-class wine for elaborate dishes. A great Champagne, with a label that doesn't give any more detailed information regarding vintages or disgorgement date, but we know it's always a 50/50 blend of three vintages (including one great millésime at least 10 years old) and reserve wines from a solera system. I tasted the wine as a Brut with Clouet's German importer in Bremen. You shouldn't drink it too early, as it would be a waste of its talents.
ドサージュ6g/L。ワイン名は山ウズラの眼の意。古典的なブラン・ドゥ・ノワール。
ほんのりピンクがかった薄い色合い。ナチュラルで品の良い果実味を持つ。ピノ・ノワール100%らしく、薄いピンクの色調です。 ロゼかと思うほどですが、これが味わい深くてとても美味しく感じます。
泡立ちは上品で、農薬など化学薬品などは一切使用しないというだけあってピュアな味わいでもあります。
洗練されているとまでは言いませんが、コスパの良さは抜群です。
是非お試し下さいませ!

Disgorged in May 2021, Vesselle's latest NV Brut Oeil de Perdrix exhibits aromas of red berries, peach pit and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and precise, with a pretty core of fruit, lively acids and a pillowy mousse, it's a fine-boned, elegant rosé that's showing well.

Based on the 2015 vintage, the new release of Henriot's NV Blanc de Blancs bursts with expressive aromas of white peach, tangerine, sweet orchard fruit and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and nicely concentrated, with tangy acids and a pearly mousse, this new disgorgement is showing particularly well.

Clouet's NV Silver Brut Nature Grand Cru is a pure Bouzy Pinot Noir that was disgorged without any dosage. This disgorgement displays a medium intense golden color and a complex and refined bouquet of ripe and pureed apples and discreet chalky as well as brioche aromas. The palate is elegant, straight and fresh, very pure and salty on the finish. This is a challenging Brut Nature that needs to be aged for two or three years to gain complexity and finesse and to smooth its current edges. The finish is mineral, limestone and salty but also a bit drying at this moment.

The 2007 Celebris Extra Brut is the latest rendition of this cuvee, which cellar master Odilon de Varine describes as "not a vintage Gosset but a Gosset vintage"-meaning that it's produced only in years adapted to the house's powerful but austere style. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, marzipan, warm biscuits and wet stones, it's full-bodied, with a deep and concentrated core of ripe but racy fruit, a tangy spine of acidity and an elegant pinpoint mouse, displaying terrific purity and precision.

Aromas of confit citrus, pear, fresh pastry and English walnuts preface Vilmart's 2011 Brut Premier Cru Coeur de Cuvee, a full-bodied, muscular and incisive wine with a deep core, racy acids and a delicately nutty finish. Disgorged a few months ago, it is a terrific effort that transcends the vintage, even if it won't go down as one of the great renditions of Coeur de Cuvee. Champs told me that he picked five or six days after his neighbors, and that appears to be borne out by the wines body and structure.

The 2006 Brut Cuvee Rare is a rich, gourmand rendition of this prestige bottling, unfurling in the glass with a complex bouquet that mingles aromas of yellow orchard fruit, pears and fresh pineapple with nuances of buttered toast, iodine and smoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and textural, while remaining fresh and surprisingly tight-knit at the core, concluding with a long and saline finish.
There's sufficient structural tension here to promise more than a decade's graceful evolution, and although this is nicely balanced, it's a generous, sun kissed rendition of the Cuvee Rare that reflects the warm vintage. The blend is 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir.
