Olivier Horiot, Champagne Brut Nature '5 Sens' 2018
Place: Champagne, France
Grape: Arbane + Chardonnay + Pinot Meunier + Pinot Noir + Pinot Blanc
Vibe: Fascinating
5 grape varieties, 5 terroirs = 5 sens. Geddit? Sometimes French is easy. Arbane's a new one for me, and given there's apparently less than one hectare of it remaining in France, I'm not gonna get attached. I'll just drink this instead. The cacophony of ingredients here results in a proper captivating, ever-changing bottling that'll have you mulling it over long after the glass is empty. ABV: 12%
