Jean Vesselle Oeil de Perdrix Brut Champagne NV (1500ml)

$135

MAGNUM. The orange-pink color of this “eye of the partridge” Pinot Noir-based wine historically was the hue of most Champagne made in Bouzy in the nineteenth century. (The wine’s singular hue is like the color of a partridge’s eye.) Pinot Noir grapes are macerated briefly to extract color then pressed. Pink roses, lavender, wild strawberry and pomegranate.

Introduction Champange from our friend Christina. Lighter & leaner style of Rosé from what we normally drink. Soft mousse & micro oxidation. Strawberries light orange citrus, cherries, blackberry reduction, watermelon right on the rind, edgy, grainy chalkiness, grey volcanics. spot of saline/sea spray, baguette crust, pink rose pedals & flowers. The acidity is soft & splendid. Excellent finish that is well balanced, has nice tension, smartly polished & persists nicely for minutes.

Hard to beat and harder and harder to find these days. As always, great texture and creaminess frames by potent Bouzy fruit and richness.

The Pinot Noir grapes spent a brief time on skins. The tension of the acid and the gentle skin contact help create a compelling wine. Gentle rose, clementines, yogurt, and a touch of mint in the nose. Peach, dates, and orange zest on the palate. This husband and wife team have a tiny walled vineyard in Bouzy. This is refined and not a powerful Bouzy bubbly. I’ll be sad if I get priced out of their wine.

Hell yes! Does not drink like most rosé champ., more texture, elegance, integrated red fruit profile. Beautiful color, heady nose, salivating acidity.
