2018 Balbiacus Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru, Champagne Delavenne

Pinot Noir

The 2018 Balbiacus Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru is a new release from Champagne Delavenne that immediately captured our attention when tasting their impeccable range.  Made from 100% Pinot Noir this beautiful Champagne is pale golden in the glass and has a toasty nose of brioche, red fruits and mineral undertones.  The palate is rounded and soft from 4 years of bottle age and finishes with a wonderful freshness and vitality that simply begs for you to go back for another sip.  Mightily impressive.

Champagne Blend

This delightful, and rather smart, Champagne comes from a relatively young Champagne House that started in 2005.  Based in the southerly Aube region, they make approachable, terrific value wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  This wonderful introduction to their range shows expressive brioche, green apple and quince fruit and has wonderfully balanced acidity.  Germar Breton are certainly a Champagne House to keep an eye.

NV Cremant Du Jura ‘Cuvee Bethanie’, Fruitiere Vinicole Arbois

Chardonnay

One of our best selling sparkling wines, this stunning Cremant is given added complexity by the addition of 2cl of Vin Jaune at dosage.  The result adds a rich, nutty and savoury edge to what is otherwise traditional method 100% Chardonnay, which tasted blind could pass for an aged Champagne.  Not everyone's cup of tea but certainly popular and curious enough to keep customers coming back for more!
