Grammy smith jolly rancher. Bubbles are aggressive and not as tight. -but lively and tasty nonetheless. Potato starch, apricot.

So delicious, love the crisp non-malo style. Pinot dominant—red berries, red apple skin, mandarin orange, with some lemon, green apple, spearmint and biscuit dough.

Every champagne lover should get to know Fabrice Gass! His tiny estate in Damery, Alexandre Filaine, was a great discovery for me this year. Age-old story of minuscule production, biodynamic farming, and upholding tradition. This older bottling of his NV was stunning and perhaps one of the best I've had recently. 2012 base, with some 2011 blended in as reserve. 2/3 Pino, the rest Chard, and a touch of Meunier. No dosage, no malo, and fermented in old Bollinger barrels - Fabrice's keepsake from his last gig. Elegant, with laser focus but impressive body. On the nose, super chalky, floral, green apples, pears, and brioche. The palate's incredibly vinous. A complexity that ebbs and flows, with a length that matches. Quite rich and showing some oddly fresh grassy tones. Citrus pith and really mineral on the back notes. What a joy to sip on!

Gorgeous cut and clarity. Salty and saline. So sappy and lovely Pinot berry fruit.

A no brainer. Pinot driven berry fruit. Rich, complex, fine mousse. Great price

If you can find it, Filaine’s basic cuvée is pound for pound the best value in Champagne. Discuss.

Tiny production, organic, indigenous yeasts, no malo etc. Zingy green apple and lively acidity with some underlying creaminess, citrus and chalk. Thanks to Jeff Hellman at Transatlantic Bubbles for turning me on to this producer!
