Nos Terres Amoureuses 2021
Domaine Alimar | Brut Nature | Vintage 2021
The – Nos Terres Amoureuses was somehow special. Particularly good, but also not quite "simple".
Alexis (and Jeanne) Limar work in La Neuville-aux-Larris, with a focus on precise, sleek champagnes: spontaneously fermented, unfined, unfiltered, long on the lees – and generally rather lightly dosed.
Nos Terres Amoureuses is built uncompromisingly on Meunier – from a south-facing parcel in the Vallée de la Marne. Fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts, then aged just over three years on the lees and completely without dosage.
Aromatically I got very bright, precise notes: pear and mirabelle, some white flowers, plus a touch of orange zest and almond. On the palate then dry and very clear, with a slightly chalky texture and this fine, saline pull that makes the wine longer than you think at the first sip. And yes – this "wet stone" comes through here again too.
Tasting Notes
Bright, precise notes of pear and mirabelle, white flowers, orange zest and almond. On the palate dry and clear with chalky texture, saline pull and mineral character.
Der @domainealimar – Nos Terres Amoureuses war irgendwie besonders. Besonders gut, aber auch nicht ganz „einfach“. Alexis (und Jeanne) Limar…
