This weekend was the start of the Artists' Open House event in Dulwich, which will also run next weekend. We spent the weekend exploring our extended neighbourhood with our dog and a guidebook, popping in to see the artists that interested us. Our walking tour took us past one of our favourite local wine shops in East Dulwich, Green & Blue, so we stopped in to see what they had that was interesting. As always, their selection was different and fun, and we picked up a bottle of bubbly.
This one was the Rose d'Assemblage from Bereche et Fils, a pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay blend. While we hadn't tried this winemaker before, we were intrigued by the fact that they're an organic/biodynamic maker. We tend to like wines made in this fashion, especially since they tend to be low- or zero-dosage, which tends to increase the wine-like flavours in the champagne.
We were very excited with this wine. The huge amount of bubbles just exploded flavour into my mouth - wonderful red berries, without any sweetness or bitterness. It was very drinkable, with and without food (we trialled it with our usual grilled steak, which was a perfectly good match for the wine) and went down pretty quickly.
Green & Blue had another champagne in stock by this maker, and I'll definitely be picking it up the next time we're in that neighbourhood!
