The NV Brut Blanc de Noirs Recolte Noire is a touch more elegant than the Recolte Brute, with layers of perfumed Pinot fruit that emerge gracefully from its medium-bodied fame. This delicious Champagne possesses lovely balance in an understated style, though it doesn’t have quite the personality and complexity of the Recolte Brute. Disgorged May, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. This is a promising set of wines from Davy Dosnon and Simon-Charles Lepage. Dosnon & Lepage pursue a philosophy of sustainability in their work in the vineyards and cellar. The wines are aged in small French oak barrels and are neither fined nor filtered prior to bottling. Based on what I tasted, this small domaine is well worth keeping an eye on. Importer: Jon-David Headrick Selections, Asheville, NC; tel. (828) 252-8245
