Trois Contrées 2021
Champagne La Borderie | Extra Brut | 2021 Vintage
I already knew them – but not the "Trois Contrées" yet. This bottle was part of the champagne package from – and probably the most approachable of the four bottles. And as he said: "A magnificent aperitif." That's why I opened it first. And solo.
And that's exactly what was exciting: At first it seems inviting, gentle, charming – and then suddenly this depth comes through. Not complicated, but complex. A champagne that first draws you in and then makes you think.
I'd say: A pairing would have really benefited this wine. Something warm, something with structure – to bring out the balance between Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc even more clearly.
But even solo it was clear: This is top-quality stuff. Cleanly made, precise, harmonious – and typical Côte des Bar at its finest.
Tasting Notes
First inviting, gentle and charming, then surprisingly profound. Not complicated, but complex – a champagne that draws you in and makes you think.
