Description
Stephan Reinhardt: Based on 75% Pinot Meunier, 15% Chardonnay and
5% Pinot Noir (30- to 60-year-old vines, mainly picked in 2011),
the NV Origin'elle Extra-Brut is a pretty good representative of
both the plantings on the biodynamically farmed 8.4 hectares; these
vineyards are located in the most western part of the Marne valley.
The wine is made in the special style of Francoise Bedel and her
son Vincent, whose wines are kept on the lees for almost one year
(in this case in enameled tanks). Straw-golden in color and clear
and aromatic on the intense and pretty rich nose, this is a full
and round, yet delicate and silky textured fizz. It has a long and
aromatic finish. Although the wine seems to be rich and fat at
first, it is in fact full-flavored but pure and finesse-full. The
finish is clear and fresh, and reveals a nice mineral grip. This is
an excellent Champagne as an aperitif, but also with food. My
sample has the Lot number OX110415 and was disgorged in April 2015.
