In addition to her impressions of the champagnes from Delabaye & Fils, Manuela Prieth also tasted other champagnes:
Dauby Mère & Fille – Grande Réserve Extra Brut Premier Cru
A cuvée that combines power and harmony. On the nose, red currants and sour cherry, accompanied by a delicate yeasty note. On the palate, creamy and full-bodied, with red berry freshness, a soft texture, and subtle oak spice that adds depth. The perlage is fine and restrained, the finish fruit-forward and balanced. A Premier Cru that appears classic yet remains multifaceted – ideal for those seeking Champagne with depth but without heaviness. Discover this Champagne here.
Dauby Mère & Fille – “Cuvée Guy Dauby” Brut Grand Cru
A champagne with great expression and personality. In the glass, it's a pale amber color with exceptionally fine and subtle bubbles. The nose offers aromas of hay, beeswax, cloves, and cranberries – ripe and intriguing. On the palate, it's powerful and creamy, with well-integrated acidity that provides freshness and balance. A Grand Cru for special moments, impressive and unique. Discover this champagne here.
Thuillier & Filles – “Louise Césarine” Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut
A Blanc de Noirs with a modern touch. The nose is exciting and multifaceted: hay, rosemary, fig, pear chutney, and freshly baked sourdough bread. On the palate, it is dry, complex, and full of character, with a fine, elegant mousse. A Champagne that showcases individuality and appeals to all those who appreciate a purist style.
