champs

Def not an expert here but I do receive emails from my local wine shop that I’m obsessed with. Based on the knowledge I’ve absorbed, you could try one from Chavost or Etienne Calsac (both are producers and their champagnes are allegedly good)

A wine i liked

I mean, the romanticism of finding a wine made in New York by a French woman (pascaline) in champagne, I couldn’t resist. for all the warning by the somm about how this was ”really natural,” I thought it was refined, bright, and intriguing in the way that most wines made by interesting people are. I think I remember it tasting like raspberries, pink lady apples, lemon, and basil. Tart, a bit yeasty and wild, floral and aromatic, yet still deeply serious and delicious.

L’Ostal

More of a recent discovery for me are the wines of Louis and Charlotte Perot of L’Ostal. They lived in Paris and were both working in literature and got the itch to leave the city. Louis ended up studying viticulture and winemaking and eventually started working with Simon Busser (another producer making real profound juice) in Cahors, the South-Western part of France. They bought a property in 2012 and mainly work with with Malbec (aka Côt here) and Merlot. The wines floored me the first time I had them. They’re not trying to be anything super cutting edge, but just a traditionally made wine done very well. Def more dad/uncle wine, red lights and velvet, but something natty wine drinkers can get behind. Don’t get me wrong, I like low ABV flirt juice, but don’t be afraid of 14% and up wines!
