This is the lightest of the Soutiran Champagnes, softly textured, attractively ripe and delicious as an apéritif. It is fruity, with fresh pear and spiced apple flavors, finishing with sweet acidity.

If you want to taste ripe Pinot Noir in Champagne, this grand cru blend (with 40% Chardonnay, 60% Pinot Noir) from Soutiran is where to come. The wine has weight, delicious white fruits and kiwi, and a textured mouthfeel. It is concentrated, certainly in a food wine style.

Opens with a complex and elegant nose, offering aromas of lemon, orange, crackers and vanilla. This Champagne has great balance, a light, lively, zingy feel, and fuller, more mature biscuit and vanilla notes. Zesty is a good word here, and a slight chalky element adds further interest on the lengthy finish.

There are few 2003 vintages-wines—the year was so hot and the wines can lack acidity. But while this wine is certainly full-bodied, it has an impressive tannic structure with tight acidity giving a lift to the pear juice weight.

Here is a wonderfully ripe, round, fruit-laden and full-bodied Champagne, with a richness unusual for a 100% Chardonnay blanc de blancs. It’s so brimming with delicious fruit one is tempted to call it almost fleshy. Seductive and sensuous, with a lip-licking, lingering finish.

A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from grand cru vineyards, this is a clean, precisely made wine that almost seems engineered—it’s that crisply defined. It shows perfect, streaming, tiny bubbles, a tight, yeasty entry and a steely, concise finish.

Toasty and yeasty, this medium-full rosé opens with berry, rose and earth notes, and has full cherry-berry flavors with herb accents on the palate. Displays a good bead, and closes dry and long with berry flavors and appealing tarragon and ripe tomato notes.

The wine is rich, complex, softly creamy, but at the same time dry. It has a wine-like weight, a full mouthfeel of puréed apples and white currants, finishing though with mineral acidity.

Very pure in the mouth, this food-friendly rosé is rich, on the dry side, with flavors of crushed strawberries and lemon juice, tightened by a red apple skin texture. The wine is fresh, but has an attractive edge of developing maturity.

A Blanc de Noirs made from 100% Pinot Noir, this is already showing some maturity, with flavors of black truffles and mushrooms to go with the richness. There is a yeasty character that blends well with the almonds and currants. The finish is ripe and full.
