A very nice wine. Good acid backbone, fruit forward, a nice mix of sour and stone. A nice option for appetizer courses. Golden in the glass, mature characteristics. — 20 days ago

Chiseled and stony. Lime and slate. Acid in spades. Blind tasters were leaning Albariño and I don’t blame them. Uncharacteristic for the hotter/fatter vintage. Can’t find a lot on this wine and don’t know if “Hofberg Reserve” is an entirely different bottling than “Hofberg”. — 9 months ago

After having this back to back with the A.J. Adam Goldtropfchen GG I am realizing that 2020 just isn’t my bag. A bit too friendly and I prefer face rippers and enamel strippers. Great wines from a great producers but my personal preference is for more intensity.

I could be totally wrong and these are just shut down for the time being, but I don’t think that’s the case here. — 2 years ago

Can’t go wrong with this one for the $12 price tag. This must be non vintage. No year on the bottle. — 3 years ago

A.J. de Margerie – Grand Cru Brut
Bouzy, Champagne – France 🇫🇷

Overview
A Grand Cru Champagne from the village of Bouzy, an area known for its powerful, Pinot Noir–driven expressions. The composition blend is 90 % Pinot Noir and 10 % Chardonnay. This bottling leans toward a richer, more opulent profile while still delivering the classic tension associated with Bouzy fruit.

Aromas & Flavors
Floral notes intertwined with brioche, honey, and touches of lemon custard. The fruit profile leans slightly riper, giving it a plush and appetizing character.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with fine, energetic bubbles. There’s noticeable tension on the back end of the palate, creating a long, citrus-inflected finish. The riper fruit adds generosity without losing structure.

Food Pairings
Ideal with creamy cheeses, smoked salmon, shrimp tartare, buttery pastries, or even lightly spiced Asian dishes.

Verdict
A rich, floral, and pleasantly intense Grand Cru Champagne with a honeyed edge. A bit fruitier than my personal preference, but an excellent choice for those who enjoy lemon-custard tones and a long, persistent finish.

Did You Know?
Bouzy is one of Champagne’s most famous Pinot Noir villages, its Grand Cru status reflects centuries of recognition for power, ripeness, and depth in both still and sparkling wines. — 20 days ago
