NV Ployez-Jacquemart Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Quality Brut - France, Champagne (1/14/2023)
Recent purchase, but no disgorgement date on the bottle, so no way to know if it’s from 2022 or 2021, but it was a recent arrival. I’ll presume it’s therefore a pretty recent disgorgement. There is an intense floral note, as well as a whiff of fresh pine bough to go along with bright lemony fruit. Crisp and invigorating on the palate, the acidity cuts through the buttery popcorn that we had while watching an afternoon movie. Another glass later was equally appealing with our omelets for dinner.
NV Ployez-Jacquemart Champagne Extra Brut Rosé - France, Champagne (1/14/2023)
Recent purchase and recent arrival, so presume a recent disgorgement. Starts out a little quiet on the nose, but after a few minutes, and also a little warmer it shows a lot of red fruit and an interesting bass note that adds a bit of gravitas that I don’t normally find in a young NV Champagne. Solidly dry but thankfully not austere on the palate, this wasn’t quite the same solid match with our popcorn as the Extra Quality Brut, but it worked very well with the dinner omelets, especially the one with a bit of ham. Happy to have more, and would gladly buy again.
