A blend of 80% Pinot Meunier, 15% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Noir
The large amount of Pinot Meunier, a red grape verity is giving the wine power and a certain elegance.
With a steady stream of bubbles filling the glass.
The nose offers a rich style of wine with a pleasing whiff of brioche and dried apricot. all this follows through on the plate and fills the mouth with a mellow not sweet, wood/honeyed note.
The acid and fruit are in balance on a long finish that once again for me, hints at a wooded note.
The wine has a pleasing texture that rounds out the drinking pleasure.
This wine from Charly sur Marne in France offers a true Champagne taste with out the price tag.

the Rot has set in.
I thought this wine truly offered value for money, as a cheeky little Champagne it required a cheeky little scallop dish that I whip up when I can’t be bothered cooking.It looks and tastes impressive however it’s so dam simple to make. Yes, you guessed it scallops on toast, yes there are a few little things like real Gippsland butter and smoked bacon and green beans but truly its what’s in the fridge at the time, and as stated several times before, there is always seafood of some sort in my fridge and good Australian olive oil in the pantry.
