The Paris Experiment

Champagne Roger Barnier, Cuvée Blanche, 2012

Aperitif Hour

22 Apr

Champagne Roger Barnier, “Cuvée Blanche”, Blanc de Blancs, Champagne, France

Roger Barnier and their incredible expression of the exquisite vintage of 2012. This cuvée blanche you can really taste the quality- insanely. This is a month when the Fizz Champagne Club’s pride is on display for unique and boutique and highly exclusive bottles. If you would like to join the private club please contact me!

2012 is a special year in Champagne, France.

2012 has become a powerhouse vintage with some famous houses you may recognize –  Dom Perignon, Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame, Cristal, Bollinger’s Grande Anne, and other top champagne producers deciding to make a top cuvée from this single vintage’s fruit. Roger Barnier produces some of the most compelling and expressive champagnes available. This is a VERY tiny house with VERY tiny quantities! For example no more than 1200 bottles were produced of this reserve bottle … That’s only 100 CASES for the entire world!

Roger Barnier’s cuvées exhibit pronounced refinement in every single sip, in a style that Roger himself developed thinking primarily of wines that should be paired with a meal for an epic gastronomic experience like this “Cuvée Blanche”. Designing champagne that goes hand in hand with food was the driving force behind the creation of the Maison’s trademark texture and elegance. How very FRENCH 🙂 Seriously, whenever I read that a winemakers WHY in their creation will ultimately be to pair with food and bring about a pleasurable experience to all – I’m sold. I would absolutely love to be sipping this on the French Riviera with some fresh caught white fish staring at the Mediterranean, however tonight in my backyard it was…

 a flute of this exceptional champagne with some sliced fresh papaya and mango! A little goat cheese and crackers as well. It was pure bliss!

Cheers and happy weekend everyone!

I wrote this manuscript sitting in cafés in Paris (well and many mornings in my apartment candles burning at 6 am) and my hope is that it transports you there no matter where you are in this 🌎 

I took great pleasure in writing this, and have attempted to make it full of entertainment (real life in Paris) and hope you will find that you want to turn the page to see what happens next … highs and lows - it’s all in there. Intensity, passionate, thrilling. 
(plus very cool graphics throughout)

Let’s pull back the curtain shall we?! 

Sequel in the works 🇫🇷📚💛

A flute or a coupe 🥂🖤

Last week I had the pleasure of a quintessential impressive French meal shared with the lovely Director of Maison Belle Époque Hèléne Caluch 
The food was exquisite and the perfect pairing for a vertical tasting of Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs 2012,  Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Brut 2013, and Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Rosè 2012
 
The art and floral elements brought an undesirable beauty to this Maison that was captivating. Selecting my own champagne glass from the historic vintage collection of the House for “Aperitif Hour” well … 💕🥂

A huge Merci 🇫🇷
