Best bubbles of the last days. Bastien Pointillart, 2015 Chardonnay- Premier Cru, Focused, chalky minerality, changing in the glass constantly. Promising may be but not deep enough for that hype? I can hold onto : Paillard, 2018, 70 % PN, 30% Chardonnay, fermented in barrels. Delicate but with great muscles. Crashed berries, roses on the nose. And it finally comes with caramel and saline notes. Blossoms, freshness but its texture is so smooth. Great balance! It’s way deeper than Bastiens Champagner. Zeter 100 Grand Cuvee (2010, bottled in 2019) - Monumental Sekt. 100 months on lees. Zero dosage. Also fermented in barrels. So demanding 🚀 Nothing is missing. Rethinking German Sekt. Without this bottle. Nope, not gonna happen. I couldn’t be more tragic but after trying to having a glass of Kölsch in Köln, we ended up having an Alt in Düsseldorf, indeed one of the best Alts, Uerige. It’s creamy, it has great body, big and bold, dark and deliciously bitter at the end. Religion. Schaum. #champagner #bouzy #winediary #unicornwine #germansekt #champagnelover #vinvivants
